- In order to develop good measures for studying unobservable constructs (like creativity, intelligence, and extraversion), we need to carefully outline or specify what we want to know.
- Begin with a conceptual definition - a statement in everyday language that describes what you want to know.
- Draw a diagram of the various components of your construct and how they relate to one another.
- Choose the methods of measurement most appropriate for your construct.
- Search the literature for the most reliable and valid measures of your construct.
