The book discusses the extent to which psychology can measure mental attributes such as intelligence and examines the philosophical issues that arise from such attempts.The book examines three major models within psychometrics; classical test theory/true scores, latent variables/item response theory and representational measurement theory. Each theory is examined against three perspectives or “stances”:The formal stance: how the model is formulated in terms of its syntax and semanticsThe empirical stance: how the model handles data in empirical researchThe ontological stance: whether the psychometric concepts of the model are useful fictions or are part of an objective, external realityThe book also examines the relationship between the three models and finally ends with a discussion on the concept of validity."@en }
