Abstract
As early as 1692, Christian Thomasius had developed 12-point rating scales to measure psychological character (McReynolds & Ludwig, 1984). In the ensuing three centuries, our measurement theories have been refined and have markedly improved the quality of the information that we obtain (F. M. Lord & Novick, 1968; Hulin, Drasgow, & Parsons, 1983).
