The aim of the course is to introduce the classical and modern psychometric theory - Item Response Theory. Students will learn the basic concepts and skills that will allow them to determine the psychometric properties of intelligence tests, build their own measuring instruments, determine their reliability and validity, calculate total scores and convert them to standardized scores, and conduct exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis on their own data using the R programming language.
