The big data revolution has changed the way organisations operate. The implications have been phenomenal for public relations and communication management professionals who are trying to understand and manage the realm of big data and what it means for them. This study is an attempt to dive deeper into the discussion on how professionals are managing the world of big data. A large survey of European and Latin American countries reveals comparative findings on the knowledge and usage of big data and automation and demonstrates large gaps between the continents. Implications for theory and practice are finally drawn.

Summary: The two main sources of errors in educational and psychological evaluation are the lack of adequate technical and psychometric characteristics of the tests, and especially the failure to properly implement the testing process. The main goal of the present research is to study the situation of test construction and test use in the Spanish-speaking (Spain and Latin American countries) and Portuguese-speaking (Portugal and Brazil) countries. The data were collected using a questionnaire constructed by the European Federation of Professional Psychologists Association (EFPPA) Task Force on Tests and Testing, under the direction of D. Bartram . In addition to the questionnaire, other ad hoc data were also gathered. Four main areas of psychological testing were investigated: Educational, Clinical, Forensic and Work. Key persons were identified in each country in order to provide reliable information. The main results are presented, and some measures that could be taken in order to improve the current testing practices in the countries surveyed are discussed. As most of the tests used in these countries were originally developed in other cultures, a problem that appears to be especially relevant is the translation and adaptation of tests.
