Psychometric Test Review Criteria

There are several hundreds of psychometric tests and tools in the market claiming to measure various human abilities, personality traits, disposition, values, preferences, knowledge, and competence. Unfortunately, many of these tests have not undergone any peer-review or expert review process, and claims made herein have not been verified by an independent body of qualified professionals.
