Sumario: | Psychometric studies allow measurements based on vector correlations that produce predictions of human behavioral traits. With increasing digitization, psychometrics has been used to design profiles of individuals through various mechanisms: Big Data, Machine Learning, among others. Far from being neutral, these profiles are based on methodologies which produce biases that affect the profiled individuals. This article proposes that psychometrics elaborates a dividual-profile that generates a reduction of individuals and produces forms that augur the way in which they should behave. Here the conjecture is exemplified from the analysis of a case of psychometric measurement based on facial recognition. |
