Resum: The seminar will briefly introduce the use of tests in national surveys. The aim is for students to see the importance of proper test development and implementation, emphasizing the need for adequate psychometric properties. In addition, emphasis will be placed on the need for adaptation when used with subpopulations, as well as on the insights and evidence for the advancement of psychology as a science and the quality of life of the population, provided that they are used correctly.
