@profmattdecarlo.bsky.socialHey #psychometrics bluesky...How can researchers best influence the next NCME Testing Standards?
There are responsibilities for state licensure boards as test users that they are entirely ignorant of and incentivized not to do.
Psychometric validation relies on competent test users/board members
@psynexa.bsky.socialAn individual trajectory is an aid for observing change and reflecting — case formulation, supervision. High centrality ≠"intervention target" (Bringmann et al., 2019). No diagnosis, no relapse prediction.

@psynexa.bsky.socialIf you've done CBT, you know it: thoughts→feelings→behavior, arrows looping. The vicious cycle.
