Open-Source Psychometrics

Open-Source Psychometrics involves creating and sharing psychological assessment tools—such as surveys, tests, and questionnaires—publicly and freely accessible to everyone. By doing so, it encourages collaboration, transparency, and continual improvement within the field of psychological measurement. This approach allows researchers, clinicians, and the public to use, analyze, and adapt these tools without proprietary restrictions, fostering innovation, validation, and broader application across diverse populations. Essentially, it promotes an open, cumulative effort to better understand human traits, behaviors, and mental health through shared resources.
