Abstract
The adaptation of psychological tests is the process of reworking psychological diagnostic tools in accordance with a specific cultural, linguistic, or social context. Through this process, tests are not only translated into other languages, but they are also adapted based on cultural sensitivity, norms, and values. The adaptation of tests is crucial in ensuring the reliability and validity of psychological assessment. Therefore, psychometric properties—namely, the validity, reliability, and level of standardization of the test—must be preserved. The article analyzes the stages of test adaptation, international experience, and the practice of localizing psychological tests in Uzbekistan. Simply translating the test into another language is not enough; it must fully align with the socio-cultural context and be understandable and relevant to the respondents. In this regard, the adaptation of tests is a modern, scientific, and practical aspect of psychological assessment.
