Construction Strategies for Multiscale Personality Inventories

Burisch, Matthias

Applied Psychological Measurement, 2, 1, 97-111, W 78

Sets of inventory scales were constructed from a common item pool, using variants of what are here called the Inductive, Deductive, and External strategies. Peer ratings for 21 traits served as criteria. Very little variation in validity was attributable to construction strategies. (Author/CTM)
