Psychometrics (or psychological measurement) is the branch of psychology that deals with the design, construction and validation of quantitative tests for measuring aptitudes, attitudes, traits, knowledge, personality, and intelligence. Psychometrics is the second-most important content area in psychology next to statistics, yet many psychologists are unaware of its powerful tools and techniques. Indeed, statistician Andrew Gelman has referred to psychometrics as ?the most underrated science?.
