Qualia: an AI research assistant

Qualia is one AI assistant for psychometrics research. You can ask it about defining a construct, choosing or comparing measures, research design and statistical power, and interpreting results. Signed-in researchers and clinicians can use it right here as Ask Qualia, the helper in the corner of research pages. Researchers and clinicians also get the Qualia workspace here, with research calculators for effect sizes, sample size, power and reliability, drafting of new practice items, and study setup in Study Designer. The separate site at qualiatest.com stays available too. There is no time limit: it is a tool you use, not a test you take. It does not assess or diagnose anyone, and AI answers can be wrong, so check them before you rely on them.

The Qualia workspace and Ask Qualia are for signed-in researchers and clinicians: sign in or create a researcher account. More about Qualia · How Qualia and the other AI features work.

How it works

From study design to clean data

  1. Design

    Build a measure battery with the Study Designer or Construct Quantifier and get a structured APA Methods section.

  2. Collect

    Share an anonymously-takeable participant link — resume-on-refresh, with millisecond-precision reaction times where relevant.

  3. Export

    Download de-identified, item-level CSV keyed by participant code — ready for R, SPSS, or Python.

Research tools

01

Study Designer

Structured APA Methods section (.md / copy-paste). Define research question, variables, design type, and measures via a 6-step wizard. Pre-filled validation study templates included.

Studies (participant pool)

Turn a Study Designer or Construct Quantifier battery into a live, anonymously-takeable study with a participant link, resume-on-refresh, a participant-pool credit redirect, and a de-identified CSV export keyed by participant code.

Statistical Test Selector

Answer a few questions about your design and get a recommended test, an APA reporting template, an assumptions checklist, an effect-size benchmark, and a non-parametric alternative.

Statistics Calculator

Paste your data and actually run the test — descriptives, Welch's t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, ROC/AUC, and Spearman–Brown reliability, each with an effect size and an APA-style line. Pairs with the Effect Size Explorer, a visual explainer of what a Cohen's d means.

Meehl’s Ghost

Talk methodology with an AI reconstruction grounded in Paul Meehl’s published work — clinical vs. actuarial prediction, construct validity and nomological networks, theory appraisal, and taxometrics. Turn-by-turn, clearly labeled as an AI persona, with real citations and no clinical advice.

Narrative Lab

Deterministic PSE and CCRT scoring. Parses free-response narratives using an automated lexical content-analysis approximation for implicit motives and the Luborsky (1998) method for relational themes. Symbol-counted — not probabilistic.

Construct Quantifier

Enter any psychological construct. Get multi-level operational definitions, matched public-domain items, alternative paradigms beyond self-report, and construct validity framework guidance.

Live
Open tool →

Reliability Estimator

Plan scale length with the Spearman–Brown prophecy formula. Enter an observed reliability (e.g. Cronbach's α), the current item count, and a target reliability to get the length factor, items needed, and a projection table across scale lengths.

Available measures for research

Every instrument below is a real, deterministically-scored measure live on the platform — not a placeholder. For the complete catalog with sample reports and item counts, see the full measure catalog.

Implicit & psychodynamic (engine-scored)

PSE — Picture Story Exercise CCRT (Relational Theme) — Ed. 2 Standard CCRT-LU (Albani et al., 2001)

Cognitive tasks (millisecond-precision reaction times)

Other dual-use cognitive tests from cognitive psychology research — suited to neuropsychological and psychoeducational work — include the Color–Word Stroop, a visual digit-span task, a mental-rotation task, a variable-tempo Stroop, and tests of nonverbal logical reasoning. Academic achievement measures in writing and math are also available, with percentile scoring keyed to the NAEP database.
