Abstract

Test scores, like the sum score, can be useful for making inferences about the latent variables. The conditions under which such test scores allow for inferences of the latent vari- ables based on a “weaker” stochastic ordering are general- ized to any monotone latent variable model for which the latent variables are associated. The generality of these con- ditions places the sum score, or indeed any test score, well beyond a mere intuitive measure or a relic from classical test theory.
