If there are no good tools available for measuring the variables you have selected, we will help you to design and evaluate them, we will provide support in the process of creating new psychometric tools.
If you need a professional analysis of psychometric data, we will conduct a reliability and validity analysis, data modelling, implement machine learning schemes, and prepare a graphical presentation of data.
If you are preparing or implementing a research project, we will help you to include psychological aspects in the description of the project, evaluate the study and justify its cost.
