- Summary
- "Item Response Theory (IRT) is, increasingly, the psychometric method used for contemporary psychological tests. The goal of this book is to explain IRT. The book is especially useful to psychologists and social scientists familiar with small-scale cognitive and personality measures, of those who want to use IRT to analyze scales used in their own research. It is also useful for graduate students and practitioners who want to understand the contemporary, psychometric foundations of the tests they administer. Familiar psychological concepts are used to help explain various IRT principles. The book develops an intuitive understanding of IRT principles through its use of graphical displays and analysis of psychological principles."--Jacket.
