“Psychometric Tests & Measurement Techniques”

(A Certification Course from basics to applications)

Proposed to be organized by the ‘Psychometric Tests Based Mapping System’ of Salahkaar Consultants, India.

Psychometric is a term, which has caught the imagination of the Indian corporate world in recent years. And, like any other terms turning into a fad, this term too is getting its fair share of sycophancy, thanks to all kinds of hackers who are ever present to take a leaf from the scientific world and go around parading like an expert in the field. Faced with this scenario, we thought it our professional responsibility to introduce a real scientific program for the benefit of all concerned.

So, what does Psychometric mean? Simply speaking, it is the science of psychological measurement and aims at measuring psychological attributes like personality, aptitudes, attitudes, intelligence, skills, motivation, etc.

The present program offers you an opportunity to learn Psychometrics from a team of eminent psychometricians /industrial psychologists / behavioral scientists and gives you a chance to obtain certification from an internationally renowned house of Psychometricians and professional psychologists for administration & interpretation of some of these tests and their techniques.

Objective Of This Program

The main purpose of this program is to help Sr. Corporate Managers / Executives / Officers and other non-psychologists (like HR / Recruitment / Marketing / IT professionals) in psychological measurements and acquaint them with the science of test construction, test administration, uses and interpretation of test data and their applications.
