Goals of the Research Department
The investigation of the role of aptitudes in education.
Our Work
Over the years, the Johnson O’Connor Research Foundation has tested tens of thousands of people, from a wide range of ages and a strong diversity of career fields. We have therefore amassed a huge amount of data we can use to learn about the internal characteristics of our tests and to study the construct validity of the aptitudes we measure.
Our “Technical and Annual Reports” section features write-ups of much of this work. The Technical Reports are mainly written for psychologists, psychometricians, and others working in the field of individual differences. The Annual Reports are written for a more general audience and serve as an overview of the topics we’ve been studying.
We offer free PDFs of research publications, when available. Please direct requests for copies, or any other inquiries, to research@jocrf.org.
