Abstract
Many Rasch analyses involve respondents completing a test or a survey. However, one other scenario involves the analysis of respondents whose responses to a set of items are evaluated by judges. Well-known examples of this situation include Olympic figure skating and market research in which a group of people are asked to evaluate an item using a number of characteristics. This chapter presents an overview of this type of Rasch measurement and demonstrates an initial analysis which can be completed using Rasch software. In this chapter, readers learn it is important to take into consideration the differences of judges, and that it is probably best to encourage judges to remain consistent (a tough judge should remain tough). The chapter finishes up with a student dialogue, Keywords and Phrases, Quick Tips, Data Files, References, and Additional Readings. As in almost all chapters, sample analyses are used to reinforce the chapter topic.
