Abstract / Description

In this paper two scales of a personality questionnaire, extraversion and neuroticism, are analyzed using a family of latent trait latent class models. The items are responded to in one of three categories: “yes”, “?”, or “no”. The results show that one single measurement model does not suffice in describing the data. More specifically, the meaning of the “?” response category is not invariant over subjects.
