提出一个概念框架，通过分析电力岗位知识测验开发中遇到的10个心理测量学问题，揭示测验实施背后的组织变革过程，建议加强理论与实践的联系。
Our standards for the construction of psychological tests give scant attention to the organizational context in which the tests are to be used. This paper describes 10 Psychometric issues associated with the development of an electrical job knowledge test. The test was designed to replace seniority as a means of making promotional decisions within an organization. The 10 test‐related issues are presented as a means to understand the underlying process of organizational change associated with the implementation of the new test. It is suggested that a closer link between the science and practice of our profession can be attained by achieving a greater understanding of issues associated with the practical implementation of theory‐based interventions.
