cApStAn at SIOP Annual Conference 2025 | Denver, Colorado, USA | Booth & Session
If you are attending the 2025 Society for Industrial and Organization Psychology (SIOP) annual conference in Denver, Colorado, we shall be delighted to welcome you at our booth (#216) for a chat with cApStAn’s Founding Partner Steve Dept (he/him/his), Global Business Development and Marketing Lead Devasmita Ghosh, and Localization Specialist Grace DeLee.
At our booth, we’ll showcase the range of gold standard as well as Human-centered AI enabled solutions and workflows designed to support test developers. To name a few solutions:
– AI quality estimation (AIQE) based translation workflows
– Cultural suitability and language proficiency analysis
– Machine translation and post-editing workflows
– Workshops for your item writers
– Focused review of AI generated content

Besides, Steve along with his peers has put together a diverse and international panel to discuss how, in measurement instruments, psychometrics and language are interdependent. This applies in multilingual test settings – think test localization — but also in a monolingual context.
Gerianne de Klerk – van Someren CPsychol — a chartered Occupational Psychologist and the founder of OccPsyence –, Alanah Clark — a Psychologist and Product Manager at Criteria Corp –, Karim Badr — the Senior Research Scientist at SHL— and yours truly, a linguist and the founder of cApStAn Linguistic Quality Control, will share their experience on navigating challenges linked to measuring traits or skills in ways that are valid and reliable across languages, and on using technology with discernment to do so.
The session is titled “Localizing Psychometric Tests in 2025—New Technologies, New Use Cases, New Challenges” and will take place in the big Room 503/504 on Thursday, April 3 at 10:30 a.m. All attendees, be there!
