A Note from the Chair

What Makes Rasch Measurement Special?

Over the years, we must all have been asked over and over again, "What makes Rasch measurement special?" Surely each of us has an answer. I have developed my own answer, but I want to hear yours. Will you write your answer and share it with me by December 25, 1994? (Think of it as your holiday gift to me!). I'm looking for a short answer containing 2-5 key points that you might stress in a 5-10 minute conversation with a practitioner interested in Rasch measurement theory and practice. I will summarize your responses in my next Note from the Chair. Thanks in advance for your help!
