BACKGROUND

Rating scale

Rating scale is useful objective measurement of knowledge, skills, aptitudes, attitudes, and personality.Psychometric practitioners are engaged in construction of items following several heuristic and statistical assumptions, administration of Psychological test, scoring, assessment of Reliability and Validity of Psychological tests. Generally it is assumed that psychometric approach to Psychological counselling involves designing counselling procedure based on Psychometric test scores. Therefore, Psychology Counsellors are limited to. But in the actual situation, counselor controls test items based on Psychometric test item statistics so that response will be reliable and useful for counselling. Psychology Research Unit of the Indian Statistical Institute has developed some methodologies that can help counselor to control both test item statement and the ratings. Aim of this training is to disseminate knowledge about Psychometric approach to Psychological counselling.The unit has conducted one training on Psychometric counselling in October,2019
