Highlights include:
-
- The contributions to instrument scoring from the fields of psychophysics, intelligence testing, scaling, attitude measurement, and classical and modern test theories
- The use of scoring approaches in medical research and a brief introduction into the mathematics that constitute scoring
- Potential consequences of different approaches to scoring
