What is it?
The Psychometrician's Toolbox consists of three components:
the Toolbox, Toolbox
Jr., and the Handbook.
- For those who don't need to conduct operational test administration
or need to save a little money, we have a smaller version of Toolbox, called Toolbox, Jr. Still great for conducting research,
just without the ability to actually administer tests.
- While intended as a companion
piece to the Toolbox, you can think of the Psychometrician's Handbook as a handbook for measurement practitioners looking
to upgrade their skills. Or as a reference book for graduate students just learning their trade. Or just a set of tools for
doing some things you always wondered how to do. However you care to think of it, it's a must have collection of IRT-based
techniques and tips for performing just about any task you care to perform in the workaday world of psychometrics.
When will it be available?
The production schedule currently calls for the Handbook to become available on or about December 1, 2008. The Toolbox
Jr. will follow sometime around March 1, 2009, with Toolbox Sr. coming online in the fall of 2009.
Is there an outline for the Handbook?
There sure is! Follow the link below. And by the way, numerous pieces of the Handbook
are for sale in our store now, if you're interested in a less ambitious investment.
