This book addresses psychometric assessment in the context of education. It begins with a historical overview that records how the psychometric assessment of children and adolescents became an integral tool in the field of education.

The ethical, deontological, and intercultural aspects of assessment are of exceptional importance, and for this reason, the book also aims to raise readers' awareness on these issues.

The use of technology in psychometric assessment is analyzed, outlining the steps in developing a tool with practical examples from the creation of real psychometric tools, and describing the statistical foundations of psychometric assessment (standardized scores and statistical correlation).

Furthermore, the evaluation of the psychometric quality of a tool (reliability and validity) is described in detail. Subsequently, it references observation and interviewing, methods that frame and enrich the assessment.

The book continues with the various types of assessment, which are described in detail with chapters dedicated to each type of assessment (ADHD, learning disorders, psychopathology, cognitive functions). Finally, it describes the writing of the results report, enriched with two case studies.
