Abstract
Multidimensional ranking items, in which different statements aim at different latent traits, are commonly used to measure noncognitive latent traits (e.g., career interests, attitudes, and personality). In this study, we developed two new item response theory models for multidimensional ranking items that yield statement utilities and person measures. Simulations were conducted to evaluate the parameter recovery of the two new models, and the results indicated that the parameters were recovered well by using the freeware Just Another Gibson Sampler (JAGS). Anempirical example of behaviors in workplaces was provided.
