Psychometric evidence about a psychological assessment measure cannot be assumed to generalize across dimensions of diversity and individual differences. Consistent with the focus on diversity, we stress the conditional nature of psychometric evidence. That is, the psychometric characteristics of measures can vary across dimensions of individual differences as well as across assessment contexts and specific psychometric dimensions. Constructs and their measures can differ in the degree to which they are sensitive to dimensions of individual differences. In this chapter, we outline science-based psychometric principles in the development and evaluation of psychological assessment instruments and measures that are culturally appropriate and sensitive to diversity.
