The Hooshbahr Psychometric Research Center is the first and only specialized psychometric institute in Iran licensed and supervised by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology. Established in 2005 under the name Institute for Iranian Quality of Life Studies, the center has officially operated as a dedicated research institute since 2021 following approval from the Ministry.

Our mission is to advance the science and application of psychometrics by delivering rigorous, evidence-based services in measurement, test development, and data analysis. We work across educational, research, organizational, industrial, and policy-making contexts, aiming to improve both the quality and accessibility of psychometric tools and practices.

With more than two decades of experience, the center integrates modern scientific knowledge and advanced technologies into the design and execution of research, services, and products. By applying specialized software and methodologies in psychometrics, statistics, and data science—and through the expertise of our highly trained professionals—we have successfully delivered numerous national and regional research projects in collaboration with leading governmental, academic, and private-sector institutions.

The center has been recognized as a knowledge-based organization in the field of test development and standardization of cognitive assessments including The Iran–Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales (ISB5), the Iranian Short Intelligence Scale (ISIS), and the Preschool Intelligence Scale (PIS).
