Abstract
An item response theory is discussed which is
based on purely ordinal assumptions about the
probabilities that people respond positively to
items. It is considered as a natural generalization of
both Guttman scaling and classical test theory. A
distinction is drawn between construction and
evaluation of a test (or scale) on the one hand and
the use of a test to measure and make decisions
about persons’ abilities on the other. Techniques to
deal with each of these aspects are described and illustrated
with examples.
