It Depends: Understanding Psychometrics for Testing + Assessment, by Dr. Amanda Dainis + Tim Burnett20 Feb 2024

Special Episode 1 - Vendor Shopping

Top Episode Takeaways:

🤝 Tactics for negotiation - Ask vendors about integration costs upfront, and use your accreditation status as leverage or potential for publicity. Sometimes, size does matter. Too big and you're one among many, too small and they can't keep up.

📁 Importance of owning your data and access - Ensure you can export items, stats, and raw response data. This relationship may not last forever, your business may change, and the provider might be purchased, what happens then? Be clear you can access data and think beyond onboarding.

📊 Psychometric reporting - If you're going to be doing your psychometric reporting, then make sure you have access to the data, the zeros and ones. If they have neat reporting tools built in, make sure they work for you and not just for that one big client they built it for.
