"The attack of the psychometricians". This paper analyzes the theoretical, pragmatic, and substantive factors that have hampered the integration between psychology and psychometrics.
"In fact, a discipline that respects its scientific basis should hesitate to send tests, for which such basic problems have not been solved, out for use in the real world." [Borsboom 2006; https://t.co/bAe06z4mV9] https://t.co/Rh6CBtgJ99
@Thomas995364650 @ReeseDella46775 Propose a model for the latent process, make predictions from the model, evaluate the predictions against data and refine the model. Don't have a model? Then don't claim your tests are unbiased and send them out into the w
@GandeeJeffrey @ADeepSouthCrit Psychometricians on average are quite critical of IQ researchers https://t.co/a8FYEeFhQ0
Interesting paper and, at some point, we can find "psychologists are monogamous in their use of software". Any thoughts about that? @sarahRbakerDPH @dmcneil44 @cameronlrandall https://t.co/NetcC91N2n https://t.co/PCC8jZuUWr
@krichard1212 @NoahCracky @thebirdmaniac This is a good point too, imo (https://t.co/6NPu2UxjTt). Some of these issues have been discussed for decades in one way or another. Barr's chapter in Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychology briefly covers some of thes

Finally finished reading Denny Borsboom's 2006 paper "the attack." Such a great paper. Attacked so many problems that we repeatedly witness/commit in the field. Mixed feelings when reading: happy I learnt so much & regret I haven't read it earlier. ht

I think the answers are quite simple: 1) simple classical test theory psychometrics works well enough in practice; IRT methods add little validity, and test bias is rarely important, 2) psychologists don't like math and usually can't code. https://t.co/wh
