It discusses the various existing tests, their uses, standards, and characteristics, and emphasizes their reliability and validity.  \nJUSTIFICATION  \nWithin the work carried out by a psychologist, it is necessary to have knowledge about the development and use of psychometric tests as a tool to offer a science-based service with objective criteria. The course studies the history, origin, development, importance and use of these tests. This course allows students to become familiar with the use of existing tests and the parameters that currently exist, giving a frame of reference on the complexity and responsibility that Psychometrics deserves as part of the work of a human behavior professional.  \nCOMPETENCES  \nThe course develops the following competences in students:  \n● Ethical sense and social justice  \n● Critical questioning  \nOBJECTIVES  \nAfter completion of the course, students will be able to:  \n1. Examine the historical trajectory of test measurement and construction.  \n2. Define the basic concepts associated with measuring and constructing tests.  \n3. Analyze the relevance of the use of tests as part of the various techniques that are used together to carry out evaluations.  \n4. Analyze various tests identifying, understanding, and effectively applying  \naspects of their construction in relation to validity, reliability, and standards development.  \n5. Distinguish the various types of tests, their use, and the population for which they are constructed.  \n6. Identify the most commonly used psychometric instruments and their functions.  \n7. Compare the components of psychometric assessments and psychoeducational assessments around the tests provided in each.  \n8. Know the Code of Ethics that governs the profession of Psychology in Puerto Rico regarding the administration of tests.  \nCONTENTS  \nI. Fundamentals  \nA.
