Abstract
In this chapter, a brief history of quantitative measurement is given followed by an overview of different types of measures. Next, the assumptions of quantitative measurements are assessed using the language of construct validity. Finally, the key questions that must be addressed in measurement as well as the limitations of quantitative measurement are considered.
