Job Description Summary:

Responsible for the administration and scoring of neuropsychological and psychological tests under the direct supervision of a clinical neuropsychologist. Neuropsychological testing primarily involves the administration and scoring of paper-and-pencil cognitive tests (e.g., tests of memory, attention, language, problem solving) and mental health questionnaires.

The psychometrist may also be responsible for collecting demographic information from a patient.
