** - Psychometrist, Psychometrician, Psychological Technician - What's in a Name?

For many decades psychometrists have worked in collaboration with psychologists administering and scoring psychological and neuropsychological measures. Some have referred to us as "technicians," "psychological technicians," "psychological associates," "psychometricians," etc.  All of these terms are inaccurate. 

Technicians work with machinery, while technologists work with people.  Psychometricians are professionals involved in the design and analysis of testing programs and with theoretical issues having to do with testing models.  Psychometrists are not psychometricians, and psychometricians are not psychometrists. 

Our scope of practice focuses on the administration and scoring of psychological and neuropsychological measures in human subjects. The most consistent and accurate term for our profession is psychometrist.  It is the preferred term we use and the one to be used by others.

Thank you.
