Assessment
Lab.

Explore how psychological characteristics and abilities are measured. Our lab brings together standardised psychological tests, feedback and research on assessment.

Learning through assessment

Explore psychological constructs, how standardised tests measure them and the possible sources of measurement error.

Repeated measurement

Repeat assessments over time to explore changes in your psychological characteristics.

Feedback and comparison

Receive feedback and compare your results with reference samples and other participants.

ASSESSMENT AREAS

Vocational interests

RIASEC / Holland codes provide a framework for exploring interests in different activities and occupational environments.

Personality

Big Five assessments explore extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism, agreeableness and openness to experience.

Cognitive abilities

Matrix reasoning tasks assess the ability to recognise patterns and solve abstract problems.

Strengths, values and goals

Open-ended responses can complement standardised assessments, with AI-based language analysis providing an additional perspective.

RESEARCH FOUNDATION

Measurement quality and fairness.

Our research examines the quality of psychological measurement and its implications for fair assessment.

IDS-2 measurement invariance in migrant and non-migrant groups (2024)

This study concerns children and adolescents and highlights the importance of language demands. It does not validate a new language-free assessment.

Psychometric evaluation of meinBeruf.ch (2026)

An evaluation with 914 users provides initial evidence on reliability, construct validity and technical gender fairness. Long-term career outcomes have not yet been assessed.
