The difference between **Psychometrics** and **Applied Psychometrics** lies in their focus and scope:  

### **1. Psychometrics** (Theoretical & Fundamental)  
- Psychometrics is the **scientific study of psychological measurement**.  
- It involves **developing, validating, and refining psychological tests** that assess intelligence, personality, aptitude, attitudes, and other psychological traits.  
- It focuses on **theoretical concepts** such as reliability, validity, factor analysis, and classical test theory (CTT) or item response theory (IRT).  
- Example: A researcher developing a new intelligence test and testing its psychometric properties.  

### **2. Applied Psychometrics** (Practical & Real-World Applications)  
- Applied Psychometrics focuses on **using psychometric principles** in practical settings like education, healthcare, HR, and marketing.  
- It involves **interpreting test scores**, assessing individual or group performance, and using psychometric tools for decision-making.  
- Professionals apply psychometric techniques to **real-world problems** rather than just theoretical development.  
- Example: A psychologist using a validated personality test for career counseling or an HR manager using an aptitude test for recruitment.  

### **Key Difference:**  
**Psychometrics** is about creating and refining measurement tools, while **Applied Psychometrics** is about using those tools effectively in professional settings.
