Thanks to our network of free online trial psychometric tests, thousands of participants contribute daily to our data banks. As a result, Test Partnership is able to provide outsourced research and data collection services to psychologists, psychometricians and academics.

Historically, numerous challenges have faced researchers designing psychometric instruments, such as gathering high-quality research with large samples. Developing a suite of in-house psychometric tests is usually expensive, due to the difficulties of data collection. Bespoke psychometric tests often suffer from low sample sizes, stifling proper norm group development and bringing into question the validity/reliability of the test. Also, academics must either pay market research firms exorbitant fees, or rely on undergraduate students for data, reducing external validity.

Test Partnership can collect high-quality data by quickly granting psychologists access to thousands of diverse participants. Prices range from a minimum of £1.00 per participant to a maximum of £5.00 per participant, depending on the length of the test(s) and the requested number of participants.

In particular, we are looking to work with:

  • Occupational psychology consultancies
  • Applied psychologists
  • Psychometricians and measurement experts
  • HR professionals with psychometric expertise
  • Academic researchers
  • University students - Dissertation or thesis research

Test Partnership can provide data for use in:

  • Aptitude / Cognitive Ability Tests
  • Personality Questionnaires
  • Situational Judgement Tests
  • E-tray Exercises
  • Motivational / Integrity Tests
  • Online Academic Research
  • Other Psychometric Instruments

Test Partnership is able to provide the following services:

  • Online data collection - up to several hundred participants per day
  • Item / test trialling
  • Item bank development / calibration
  • Parallel form development / test equating
  • Adverse impact and discrimination analyses
  • Norm group construction and development
  • Construct / Criterion related validation
  • Concurrent validation using our published tests
  • Classical Test Theory and / or Item Response Theory analyses
  • Test hosting and delivery - Fixed form and / or item banked

Unlike market research companies, we do not need to recruit participants. Every day, thousands of participants complete our free online tests and provide data for personal interest, preparation and for personal development. As a result, data collection can begin immediately, unlike with email campaigns and postal questionnaires. Data collection is conducted online, and all data is provided to clients in CSV format, eliminating the tedious and error-prone process of manual data input.

Clients decide Test Partnership’s level of involvement, from just providing the data to a fully-outsourced R&D process. We are also looking to collaborate with companies offering bespoke psychometric test solutions and academic institutions in need of data for psychometric research.
