ABSTRACT

In this chapter we shall consider two basically different types of scoring problems. One type includes the problems in scoring tests where each item has one or possibly more answers that are correct (hence are scored one point) and other answers that are incorrect (hence receive zero credit). The other type of test question is the one for which there is no generally “correct” answer. Items used in attitude, interest, or personality schedules are of this type, and they present special scoring problems.
