Consultation for measurement issues is an increasingly common expectation for many studies, yet there are few published guidelines on the use of psychometric consultants. The role of the psychometrician as research consultant is discussed and questions commonly asked of these measurement experts are identified. Consultation when selecting, revising, and developing data collection instruments is explored. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
