Metrics Used in Reporting Test Results.

Lyman, Howard B.

New Directions for Testing and Measurement, n6 p17-34 1980

With psychometric tests (that is, norm-referenced tests), nearly all scores fall into one of three categories: those based on comparison with an absolute standard; those based on inter-individual comparison; or those based on intra-individual comparison. These are described and all commonly used metrics are discussed. (Author/RL)
