Installation:The packages from this task view can be installed automatically using the ctv package. For example, ctv::install.views("Psychometrics", coreOnly = TRUE) installs all the core packages or ctv::update.views("Psychometrics") installs all packages that are not yet installed and up-to-date. See the CRAN Task View Initiative for more details.

Psychometrics is concerned with theory and techniques of psychological measurement. Psychometricians have also worked collaboratively with those in the field of statistics and quantitative methods to develop improved ways to organize, analyze, and scale corresponding data. Since much functionality is already contained in base R and there is considerable overlap between tools for psychometry and tools described in other views, we only give a brief overview of packages that are closely related to psychometric methodology.

Contributions are always welcome and encouraged, either via e-mail to the maintainer or by submitting an issue or pull request in the GitHub repository linked above.
