心理测量评估的使用是科学家从业者模式应用的核心工具，该评估旨在提供对心理现象的客观衡量。本章探讨心理测量学评估及其结果如何影响日常临床实践，强调当前心理测量学在临床实践中的紧张。它使用心理测量学来探索组织和管理压力、政治和理论关注(如基于证据的实践(EBP))和个人临床医生对其实践进行评估的愿望之间的关系。心理测量学的效用，以及它对临床实践的贡献和作为临床研究的工具，也进行了讨论。这一章考虑了心理测量学在临床实践中的普遍应用，然后讨论了测试的更个人化的使用。或许，心理学需要的是收回心理测量学等工具，并用更新的知识和实证主义只能带给我们的信心来重振它们。
The use of psychometric assessments which are designed to provide an objective measure of a psychological phenomenon are central tools in the application of the scientist practitioner model. This chapter explores how psychometric assessments and their results impact upon everyday clinical practice, highlighting the current tension in psychometrics in clinical practice. It uses psychometrics to explore the relationship between organisational and managerial pressures, political and theoretical concerns such as 'evidence‐based practice' (EBP), and individual clinicians' desire to evaluate their practice. The utilities of psychometrics, and its contribution or otherwise to clinical practice and as an instrument for clinical research, are also discussed. The chapter considers general uses of psychometrics in clinical practice, then discusses more individualistic uses of tests. Perhaps what is needed is for psychology to take back tools such as psychometrics, and reinvigorate them with newer knowledge and with the confidence that positivism can take us only so far.
