N 1978 Reconstructing Educational Psychology
was published, the same year that the first
author began his educational psychology
(EP) training at Exeter University under the
tutelage of Bob Burden and John Thacker.
The book was conceived and edited by Bill
Gillham, who at the time was tutor to the
Nottingham educational psychologist training
course, and he contributed a chapter
entitled ‘The Failure of Psychometrics’ in
which he asked the question ‘Why is it that
psychologists no longer find it so useful to
give individual, norm-referenced tests of
hypothetical constructs?’ Twenty-one years
later he recognised (Gillham, 1999) that
little had changed in the intervening years,
laying the blame clearly on the ‘administrative
and practice burden that followed on
from the 1981 Education Act’
