Through this course, the student will acquire, in a supervised manner, the necessary skills to administer, scoring, and interpret intelligence tests and other psychometric instruments for data-based decision-making in an ethical and competent manner. The course will also concentrate on the scientific method of hypothesis generation, on the type of inferences that may be drawn from these tests and on the different models of data interpretation available through the scientific psychometric literature.
