LOGIC‐BASED MEASUREMENT OF VERBAL REASONING: A KEY TO INCREASED VALIDITY AND ECONOMY
定义了基于逻辑的测量方法，即所有测试项目均按逻辑推理公式构建，使言语推理测试具备数值推理测试的推理客观性，并讨论了该方法在人事选拔、测试效度、经济性及测试分类学中的应用。
The purpose of this paper is to define logic‐based measurement as a method of measurement in which all measures (test items) are constructed according to the applicable inferential formulae of logic. Such a method of test construction brings into verbal reasoning tests the inferential objectivity of numerical reasoning tests. The availability of such a technology has powerful implications in personnel selection regarding real‐life prediction of inferential performance, the legal defensibility of personnel selection tests, the design of economical, inferentially nonredundant tests, and the design of test taxonomies in which basic inferential processes can be thoroughly sampled. These implications are discussed in this paper. Also the paper includes a discussion of the linkage of logic‐based measurement with other recently developed technologies such as validity generalization and computer‐tailored testing.
