Views regarding the subject of study in psychological science have transitioned from philosophical contemplations to more methodical and scientific approaches throughout the centuries. This article focuses on the inception of the most widely used tests in psychology, highlighting distinctions between psychological and philosophical sciences. The dynamic nature of psychology as a science is evident through its continual progression, introducing fresh research methods and topics as it advances.
