Six Questions That Practitioners (Might)Have About Ideal Point Response Process Items

摘要

The ideal point model discussed in Dras-gow, Chernyshenko, and Stark (2010) has the potential to advance the understand-ing of item responses, and the method has significant implications for psycho-metric practice. Although Drasgow et al. outlined some avenues for applying the results of the ideal point response process, questions and challenges about applying these models in real-world psychometric settings remain. The goal of this commen-tary is to present questions that industrial–organizational (I-O) practitioners may have about using ideal point measurement in their work. These six questions high-light gaps in our current knowledge that will require further research to adequately address.
