Research Hub: Validated Instruments with the Documentation Researchers Actually Need
Most online assessment platforms are built for consumers or clinicians. They deliver results but hide the scoring — treating the algorithm as proprietary. For researchers, this is a dealbreaker. You can't publish findings from a measure when you can't document how scores were computed.
Implicitify was built differently. Every scoring algorithm is documented. Every normative reference is cited. Item-level data is exportable. The platform functions as a research instrument delivery system, not a black box.
Why Researchers Use This Platform
Full Scoring Transparency
Every measure includes published scoring algorithm documentation — the exact formulas, weighting schemes, reverse-scoring rules, and normative transformation procedures used to compute scores. The deterministic scoring engine (a compiled Go microservice) produces reproducible results: same inputs always produce same outputs, with scoring algorithm version tracking for longitudinal studies.
Item-Level Data Export
Research-ready exports include: item-level responses with timestamps, reaction times (millisecond precision for cognitive tasks), computed scale and subscale scores, response confidence metadata, and behavioral telemetry (response latency patterns, revision behavior, engagement metrics). Data exports in formats compatible with R, SPSS, and Python analysis workflows.
Normative Comparisons
All measures report on a standardized IQ-scale (M=100, SD=15) with percentile ranks and qualitative classifications. Normative data sources are cited — you know exactly what population your participant is being compared to, and can report it in your methods section.
Instrument Library
Implicit Measures
PSE (Picture Story Exercise) — Implicit motive assessment using Winter (1994) scoring criteria. Achievement, affiliation, and power motives scored by validated deterministic engine (CA = .961 on training items). Normative data: N = 4,774 translated narratives.
TAT (Thematic Apperception Test) — Classic projective measure with standardized administration and scoring.
Emotion Stroop — Implicit emotional processing biases measured via interference effects on color-naming latency.
Schema Stroop — Schema-level implicit processing with domain-specific stimulus sets.
Emotion LDT — Implicit semantic associations via lexical decision with emotional prime words.
Schema LDT — Schema-level implicit associations using the lexical decision paradigm.
Cognitive Tasks
Stroop Task — Classic color-word interference paradigm. Congruent, incongruent, and neutral conditions with trial-level reaction time data. Stroop effect computed as interference score with normative comparison.
Lexical Decision Task (LDT) — Word/nonword discrimination with stimuli matched to English Lexicon Project (ELP) norms. Item-level data includes lexical characteristics (frequency, orthographic neighborhood, length) alongside reaction times.
Digit Span — Forward and backward digit span with adaptive stopping rules. Working memory capacity indexed by longest sequence correctly recalled.
Mental Rotation — Visuospatial reasoning task with accuracy and reaction time measurement across rotation angles.
Personality & Psychodynamic Measures
IPIP-FFM — International Personality Item Pool Five-Factor Model inventory. Open-source items with published psychometric properties.
ECR-SF — Experiences in Close Relationships Short Form. Attachment anxiety and avoidance with validated factor structure.
IPC-32 — Interpersonal circumplex with octant scoring (dominance x warmth).
RSAS — Revised Social Anhedonia Scale — critical for schizoid-spectrum research.
CCRT — Core Conflictual Relationship Theme analysis for psychodynamic research.
Research Tools
Statistics Guide — Reference for common statistical analyses in psychological research: effect sizes, reliability measures, normative comparisons, and psychometric methodology.
Test Selector — Find the right assessment for your research question. Filter by construct, methodology, population, and psychometric properties.
Research Studio — Battery construction, participant management, and data collection workflow for multi-measure studies.
For IRB Submissions
All measures include the documentation needed for IRB protocol submissions: published psychometric properties, normative data sources, data handling procedures, and consent language templates. The deterministic scoring approach (no AI in the scoring loop) simplifies the "automated decision-making" section of your protocol.
