Primary teachers' attitudes, intentions and practices regarding formative assessment (2015, background): “An inherent weakness associated with conventional analytical techniques based on classic test theory, such as factor analysis, is that they require linear, interval scale data input (Wright, 1997).”
Measurement Theory, Psychology and the Revolution That Cannot Happen (2009, methodology): “This cannot be overstated, since, as Wright (1997) notes, ignoring the quantitative imperative ‘is why so much social science has turned out to be no more than transient description of never-to-be-reencountered situations, easy to contradict with almost any replication’ (p. 35; see also Barrett,…”

Item response theory and clinical measurement. (2009, methodology): “A history of these models (Bock 1997, Goldstein & Wood 1989, Wright 1997) and a discussion of how they differ from CTT (Embretson 1996, Embretson & Reise 2000, Hambleton & Jones 1993) are available elsewhere.”
Measuring Growth With Vertical Scales (2013, background): “It has been well established that the typical logistic formulation of the Rasch model9 log[ P(X pi =1)P(X pi =0) ] = θp − δi is analogous to the sort of situation presented in the theory of additive conjoint measurement because it involves the linear and noninteractive combination of person “ability”
Historical Perspectives on Invariant Measurement: Guttman, Rasch, and Mokken (2008, unknown): “Algebraically, a Guttman scale yields “perfect conjoint transitivity” ( Wright, 1997 , p.”
