To date, psychodiagnostics is involved in solving a wide range of problems

2. Standardization of test norms
2. Differential psychometrics includes measurements relating to individual
differences between people in abilities, cognitive functions (attention, memory,
thinking, etc.), motives, emotional characteristics, etc. Here, numerical values
(points, ranks, scale values) are assigned not to stimuli, but to individuals.
Differential psychometrics in relation to psychodiagnostics and differential
psychology acts as a technological and methodological discipline. It
substantiates the requirements that psychodiagnostic methods must satisfy, the
procedure for their development and application. These requirements include

between the properties of the stimulus and the properties of subjective reactions.
So, in psychophysics, the relationship between the physical characteristics of
stimuli and the subjective characteristics of
sensations. In socio-psychological areas, a correspondence is revealed between
the series of social objects and psychological reactions.
Therefore, the main problem of psychometrics is concentrated

2. Statistical nature of test scales. How to increase the share of the
constant component and reduce the share of the random component in the
total score on the test scale.
4. Evaluation of the type of distribution of test scores and checking the
stability of the distribution. The following parameters are used: arithmetic mean,
standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, Kolmogorov's criterion. The general
logic for checking the stability of a distribution is based on inductive reasoning:
if a “half” (obtained on half of the sample) distribution well models the

In the representativeness of test norms, the following are considered:

well the distribution of the population.

The diagnostic technique differs from any research one in that it is
standardized. As A. Anastasi notes, standardization is the uniformity of the
procedure for conducting and evaluating the performance of the test.

Z-score (standard score on a standard Z scale).
Socio-psychological standard.
Independent of test results and objectively specified. The socio-
psychological standard is implemented in the totality of tasks that make up the
test. Therefore, the test itself in its entirety is such a standard. To analyze the
data regarding their proximity to the socio-psychological standard, considered
as 100% test completion, the subjects are divided into 5 subgroups. For each of
the subgroups, the average percentage of those who correctly completed the
tasks is calculated. 10% - the most successful, 20% - close to successful, 40% -
average, 20% - little successful, 10% - the least successful.

The initial total score calculated using the key is not an indicator that can be
interpreted diagnostically. It is called the "raw test score". To apply the test
norms, it is necessary to transfer the test scores from the "raw" scale to the
"standard". This procedure is called "test score standardization".

criteria norms. The target is used as a reference.
The standardization of the experimental procedure implies the regulation of the
procedure, the unification of instructions, examination forms, methods for
recording results, the conditions for conducting the examination, and the
characteristics of the contingents of subjects (the scope of the test is indicated).
In the second case, standardization is understood as the transformation of a
normal (or artificially normalized) rating scale into a new scale based not on the
quantitative empirical values of the indicator under study, but on an assessment
of its relative place in
