This short research note commences with a review of the limited literature on psychometrics in coaching. It then presents results from a survey of over 100 UK and international coaches, and thus extends the findings presented as a poster at the first European Coaching Psychology Conference in December 2008.

Keywords: coaching, type of assessment, development, psychometrics, user survey.
