Category talk:Psychological Testing

These categories are exactly the same except for the title and where they are placed in the hierarchy. Mattisse 20:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The hierarchy reflects their intended difference. A list of tests is only a small part of the topic of psychological testing. The topic also includes things like psychometrics (the science of analyzing test data) and controversial issues (like race and intelligence). Therefore, I strongly disagree with the merge. I do, however, suggest heavy cleaning to help delineate the two, which I plan to do (like some of the supercat cleaning you've been doing in this neighborhood, which I appreciate :) ).Iulus Ascanius (talk) 21:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I just noticed that the two categories had exactly the same contents, just different names. Both referenced the same parent article: Psychological testing. Do you think we need both Category:Psychological testing and Category:Psychological Testing? I have been sorting psychology articles, and it is near impossible with all  these categories! Help!

 * I agree! My vision with this is a hierarchy like this:

Psychology (a bunch of other subcats) Psychological Testing Psychometrics (science of building tests) Psychological tests (a list of tests - would that be better as a page rather than a category?) Intelligence Testing MBTI Types ...

Also, since you have the experience - should "Psychological Testing" be "Psychological testing" and I should make the second word lowercase on the bottom of all the articles in the category? Thanks!Iulus Ascanius (talk) 21:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, personality tests,etc. Also, according to Wikipedia rules it is incorrect to capitalize the second word - same rules as article and section naming. Actually the category is called Psychological tests, but I think a case could be make for Psychological testing instead.  Mattisse  22:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
