Abstract: | I address two issues that were inspired by my work on the Dutch Committee on Tests and Testing (COTAN). The first issue is
the understanding of problems test constructors and researchers using tests have of psychometric knowledge. I argue that this
understanding is important for a field, like psychometrics, for which the dissemination of psychometric knowledge among test
constructors and researchers in general is highly important. The second issue concerns the identification of psychometric
research topics that are relevant for test constructors and test users but in my view do not receive enough attention in psychometrics.
I discuss the influence of test length on decision quality in personnel selection and quality of difference scores in therapy
assessment, and theory development in test construction and validity research. I also briefly mention the issue of whether
particular attributes are continuous or discrete. |
