Scientist-Practitioner Model
At PSTC, our goal has been to implement the ideal of the "scientist-practitioner" in our activities. Consistent with this goal, we rely on a team of internationally recognized experts with advanced training in Industrial Psychology, Psychometrics, Statistics, and related disciplines.

Members of our team have published numerous articles in leading professional journals, and served as presenters at key professional conferences. Listed below is a small sample of our publications (broken down by major topic area), with links to online copies of the papers when available.
