TLDR
In this article, an item response theory-based approach is presented to construct and model multidimensional pairwise preference responses directly, assessing information at the item and scale levels, and a way of computing standard errors for trait scores and estimating scale reliability.Abstract:
In this article, we offer some suggestions as to why tetrads and pentads have become the dominant formats for administering multidimensional forced choice (MFC) items but, in turn, raise questions regarding the underlying psychometric model and means of addressing item quality and scoring accuracy. We then focus our attention on multidimensional pairwise preference (MDPP) items and present an item response theory–based approach to constructing and modeling MDPP responses directly, assessing information at the item and scale levels, and a way of computing standard errors for trait scores and estimating scale reliability. To demonstrate the viability of this method for applied use, we show that the correspondence between MDPP scores derived from direct modeling with those obtained using single statement and unidimensional pairwise preference measures administered in a laboratory setting. Trait score correlations and criterion related validities are compared across testing formats and rating sources (i.e., s...read more

Reconsidering vocational interests for personnel selection: the validity of an interest-based selection test in relation to job knowledge, job performance, and continuance intentions.
TL;DR: Results of a large validation study reveal that interests predicted a diverse set of criteria—including measures of job knowledge, job performance, and continuance intentions—with corrected, cross-validated Rs that ranged from .25 to .46 across the criteria (mean R = .31).

How IRT Can Solve Problems of Ipsative Data in Forced-Choice Questionnaires
TL;DR: It is shown that when Thurstonian IRT modeling is applied, even existing forced-choice questionnaires with challenging features can be scored adequately and that the IRT-estimated scores are free from the problems of ipsative data.

75 Years After Likert: Thurstone Was Right!
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that Likerts and related methods are misguided and propose to use the ideal point response process, where the probability of endorsement is directly related to the proximity of the statement to the individual's standing on the assessed trait.

Adaptive Testing With Multidimensional Pairwise Preference Items Improving the Efficiency of Personality and Other Noncognitive Assessments
TL;DR: In this article, the assessment of noncognitive constructs in organizational research and practice is challenging because of response biases that can distort test scores and researchers must also deal with time constraint.

The development of markers for the big-five factor structure
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of 100 unipolar terms for personality traits was developed and compared with previously developed ones based on far larger sets of trait adjectives, as well as with the scales from the NEO and Hogan personality inventories.

The structure of conscientiousness: an empirical investigation based on seven major personality questionnaires
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the underlying structure of the trait domain of conscientiousness using scales drawn from 7 major personality inventories, including industriousness, order, self-control, responsibility, traditionalism, and virtue.
