Chapter Chapter 1 in Twenty Interviews With Psychometric Society Presidents, 2023, pp 1-6 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The practice of scientific research is often associated with formulating research ideas, publishing research articles in scientific journals, and ultimately of course the development of knowledge. But research is not only made up of models, discoveries, or manuscripts. Often overlooked but completely essential are the researchers themselves, the ones who have the ideas, write the manuscripts, and keep the field up and running. And these researchers make decisions and choices which may determine the course of a discipline. In this book, psychometricians feature as the main characters, as they share their individual perspectives on the history, current state, and future of psychometrics in 20 interviews.
