Morphology
psychometrician = psychometric (semi-transparent) = psych + metric + ian
The formation is regular (psych- + metric + -ian) and the parts transparently mean 'measurement of mind' + agent, but the term is technical and not obvious to general learners.
Etymology
Psychometrician breaks into psycho- ('mind'), metric ('measure') and -ian ('person'). So, like psychology and metric, it means a person who measures the mind — someone who designs and checks tests of people's thinking and abilities.
