Division 2: Psychological Assessment & Evaluation
Welcome to Division 2: Psychological Assessment & Evaluation
About Division 2
Division 2 deals with the development of educational and psychological tests and their administration, the expansion of state and national educational testing programs, and the use of tests in work and clinical contexts. It also involves issues of test construction, administration and scoring, as well as adaptation from one language and culture to others.
One of the main goals of Division 2 is to support good practice on assessment and test use. To reach this goal, Division 2 has, for a long time, a close relationship with the International Test Commission (ITC). One of the Division 2 Board members is also a member of the ITC Council and several Division 2 members collaborate to the ITC projects. The main collaborations are on the development of guidelines and the biennial ITC conference.
