profmattdecarlo @profmattdecarlo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026So, yeah, I just like need to report that someplace psychometricians care about...if anyone can help with that. Y'all are doing great work, but no policymaker cares to implement it. 000
profmattdecarlo @profmattdecarlo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026And like, reading the testing standards was a revelation for me. Psychometricians *really* care about fairness and went through great lengths to create better tools for us! I saw what was happening in my profession spelled out in the standards but remediation steps ignored by our state boards. 100
profmattdecarlo @profmattdecarlo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I'm talking about measuring the conditional standard error of measurement, test information function, decision consistency, and the other tools that the 2014 revision required to measure bias in tests. Heck, I know one vendor who doesn't even screen for DIF. CSEM by demographics? No one does it. 100
profmattdecarlo @profmattdecarlo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It's the wild frigging west out there, and as Gulino demonstrated, the courts will take two decades to come to a conclusion about test user competence in exam selection. NCME testing standards must account for the fact that they are routinely violated by state boards without punishment. 100
profmattdecarlo @profmattdecarlo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Hey #psychometrics bluesky...How can researchers best influence the next NCME Testing Standards? There are responsibilities for state licensure boards as test users that they are entirely ignorant of and incentivized not to do. Psychometric validation relies on competent test users/board members 100
