What is a psychometric rater?

Psychometric raters are professionals trained to administer and score psychological tests and assessments, often as part of clinical trials or research studies. They work under the supervision of psychologists or psychiatrists and ensure that assessments are conducted consistently and according to established protocols. Psychometric raters may observe participants, conduct structured interviews, and record data, which is then used to evaluate cognitive, behavioral, or emotional functioning. Their role is crucial for maintaining the reliability and validity of research data.
