Objective: The National Association of Psychometrists (NAP) conducted a salary survey to collect data regarding common practices and income of individuals employed as psychometrists. Methods: An email with a survey link was sent to NAP members and posted on the NAP website. There were 118 responses; most from the United States. Results: Canadian data was excluded from compensation analysis due to imprecision in the survey/exchange rates. Most respondents reported full time employment. Respondents' educations were equally split between bachelor's and master's degrees. More than half reported hourly compensation. Most psychometrists see one patient a day and the most frequent age range was adults between 17-59 years old. Administration times ranged from 3-5 h, except in young pediatric populations. Two hours was the most commonly reported amount of time needed to score a test battery. The average hourly wage was $23.00 ± 4.96. Certified psychometrists reported higher average hourly wages (M = 24.57, SD = 4.73) compared to those who are not certified (M = 21.53, SD = 4.76). This difference was statistically significant (p < .001) with a medium effect size (d = .64). Results of the survey also showed a significant increase in income based on years of experience as a psychometrist. Conclusions: The current survey may be used as a baseline for further study of the income and practices of psychometrists in the United States and Canada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
