Dear Pratika,

Hi, I appreciate your innovativeness and wish to do something that exceeds expectations. If you don't mind, then let me ask, "do you honestly wish to design a psychometric tool, or do you need a ready-made tool that can meet your expectations?"

If you want a generic tool, you can approach any consultancy. Some popular psychometric tests require specific qualifications to administer and interpret them.

If you want to design a customized tool where you can have confidence in administration and interpretation, and if you want to learn by yourself, then I may be of help.

Best of luck.

Hope this will help you

For designing a psychometric test

1. Figure out what you want to test for (set your criteria for test). See what the symptoms are and find out what it's related to.

2. Define the criteria in operational form. Try to remove it's abstractness and subjectivity at maximum. Definition must be specific and measurable.

3. Before you start you want to have some evidence that the trait you're testing for isn't a figment of your imagination.

4. Identify the parameters (critical factors) that are responsible for having influence in your defined criteria.

5. Make up a long list of items--at least 3 or 4 times as many as you want to test to include at the end. Make sure the questions don't have excessive "face validity" (meaning, don't make them too obvious!) If the questions are obvious, the results will reflect self-image, or the image the test taker wants to project, and so it won't necessarily be accurate.

6. Give the questions to both groups and compare the results. This will take some statistical analysis, but all the necessary tools are available in Microsoft Excel and, anyway, don't require any math more complex then high-school algebra.

7. If a question is answered in significantly different ways by the two groups, keep it. If not, then drop it. Also, check the questions across groups for factors--see if the same people tend to answer a group of questions the same way. That indicates that those questions are picking out a particular trait distinct from the one you're after. This is a little tricky, because a "factor" in your test could be one of several things: an irrelevant confounding factor, another personality trait that's related, but not identical, to what you're studying, or a subset of your test.

8. Take your final draft of the test and give it to another group of people. Look at the distribution of scores to figure out a scale that usefully identifies the trait you want to test. If you found useful factors, you might create a main score and a couple of sub-scores.

9. Actually, designing a psychological test IS difficult. Measuring individual differences, such as personality traits or intelligence, is fraught with potential pitfalls.

10. It is vital that any test is administered in a standardized testing situation and is scored using the same scoring and interpretation procedure each time. If these things were not held invariant, then test results would be chaotic even if it was reliable, valid, and free from bias.

Corrected:

I mean, how to do the analysis? I can calculate the scores, but how to decide which score is good or?

Dear Arvind,

Thank you so much for such an important piece of information. We want to design a complete test not only for the recruitment purpose but also to map the competencies of our employees and identify potential candidates who can be entrusted with higher responsibilities. We need an entire module where we can design the program.

It appears that you are involved in these kinds of activities. Could you please send me your detailed profile so that we can contact you? If Management approves, we can plan out further actions.

I am eagerly waiting for your response.

Regards,
Pratika
