Abstract The article aimed to construct criterion-referenced in the psychometric subject based on item response theory. The sample consisted of (121) participants (54 male & 67 female) selected from the Department of Psychology at Isra University (Jordan) during the second semester of the academic year 2021/2022. The criterion-referenced test consisted of (36) items following a multiple-choice shape in which each item has 4 options. The results showed the assumptions of items response theory in the study data and matched the responses to (34) items. The results found that there were two items that did not match the model of item response theory that were deleted. Finally, the results of the parameter assessments of the items (discrimination, difficulty, and estimation) indicated that they were agreeable with the test criteria mentioned in psychometric literature and educational. In light of the results obtained, the study recommended using the test, which was developed by the researchers to assess student’s achievement in the subject of psychometrics for students of Psychology, because it demonstrates acceptable validity and reliability and complies with the requirements of the logarithmic three-parameter model, and the possibility of using the same methods as assessments for other courses after ensuring their psychometric qualities.
