The Psychometrics Centre
The Psychometrics Centre is a Strategic Research Network of the University of Cambridge and an international centre of excellence in psychological, occupational, clinical and educational assessment. All our activities are informed by cutting edge
research, validated by theory and best practice across the full
spectrum of assessment.
We create links between professionals working in recruitment, examination boards and clinical diagnosis on the one hand, and leading experts in modern psychometric techniques, machine intelligence and the internet on the other. The melding of expertise from such a diversity of backgrounds enable us to produce a better educated and highly skilled psychometric workforce, operating at the forefront of developments in the field. This means better practice, huge efficiency savings and social benefits.
Our centre aims to:
- maintain the high standards of assessment demanded by educationists, business managers, policy makers, clinicians, researchers and psychologists
- seek out and challenge bad assessment that increasingly damages individuals, organisations and the credibility of academic work;
- meet the new assessment needs emerging from globalisation and new technology.
Our range of training, products and services,and opportunities support anyone designing or implementing assessment systems. Also see our client showcase for details of our ongoing projects and many satisfied customers
