Psychometric Test

Also known as: Psychometric Assessment, Psychometric Evaluation

A standardised measurement instrument designed to assess an individual's cognitive abilities, motor skills, perceptual speed, or other psychological attributes. In accessibility research and usability evaluation, psychometric tests such as the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for cognitive ability or Simple Reaction Time (SRT) for motor performance are used to profile participants' capabilities, helping researchers understand how individual differences in ability relate to technology use and interaction performance.
