theoretical perspective: psychometrics
Definition
- Introduction Human behaviour is enormously variable, depending on the inner state of a person, the demands and opportunities of a situation, and in dependence on a person's individual style of living, and on her/his interests, abilities, values, and motives. ‘Psychological assessment’ denotes the universe of systematic, scientifically based methods for describing, recording or interpreting a person's behaviour – provided that a method meets defined psychometric criteria, especially of reliability and validity.
