What is Psychometric Analytics?

Psychometric analytics refers to the statistical analysis of test data to evaluate the quality of measurement, by closely examining the performance of items, subscores, and the test as a whole. For example:

  • If the correct answer is C but lots of the smart students chose B?
  • Did the smarter students choose C or B?
  • Is the item biased with differential item functioning?

Unlike most platforms that provide a perfunctory analysis, we provide a deep, professional level report, with options for item response theory, which is the paradigm for all modern assessment.

CTT Analysis

Automatically pull classical test theory analytics, which is based on simple mathematics like proportions, averages, and correlations. This allows you to quickly and effectively improve items, especially via discussion with subject matter experts.

IRT Calibration

IRT is far more complex than CTT, but solves some more advanced psychometric issues far more effectively. This includes adaptive testing, automated test assembly of parallel forms, and equating.
