Abstract
A method based on configural analysis has been given whereby test scoring techniques can be evaluated to see if they have optimal validity. Configural analysis has also been used to show how three well known item scoring techniques, multiple regression, total score, and multiple cut-off, imply (for optimal validity) certain conditions on the answer pattern means. The method is illustrated by a worked example.Keywords
