Rating scale effectiveness.

The Inventory of Personality Organization-Reality Testing Subscale (IPO-RT) and Belief in Science Scale (BIS) represent indirect, proxy measures of intuitive-experiential and analytical-rational thinking. However, a limited appraisal of factorial structure exists, and assessment of person-item functioning has not occurred. This study assessed the IPO-RT and BIS using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Rasch analysis with a sample of 1030 participants (465 males, 565 females). Correlation analysis revealed a negative, moderate relationship between the measures. CFA supported a bifactorial model of the IPO-RT with four bifactors (Auditory and Visual Hallucinations, Delusional Thinking, Social Deficits, and Confusion). A one-factor model best fitted the BIS. Satisfactory item/person reliability and unidimensionality was observed for both measures using Rasch analysis, and items generally exhibited gender invariance. However, IPO-RT items were challenging, whereas BIS items were relatively easy to endorse. Overall, results indicated that the IPO-RT and BIS are conceptually sound, indirect indices of intuitive-experiential and analytical-rational thinking. Acknowledging the breadth of these thinking styles, a useful future research focus includes evaluating the performance of IPO-RT and BIS alongside objective tests.

人格组织现实检验分量表（Inventory of Personality Organization-Reality Testing Subscale，IPO-RT）与科学信念量表（Belief in Science Scale，BIS）均为直觉-体验型与分析-理性型思维的间接代理测量工具。然而，目前针对二者因素结构的研究评估较为有限，且尚未开展针对项目-被试功能的相关测评。本研究以1030名被试（其中男性465名，女性565名）为样本，采用验证性因素分析（confirmatory factor analysis，CFA）与拉希分析（Rasch analysis）对IPO-RT与BIS进行了测评。相关分析结果显示，两项量表得分间呈中等程度的负相关关系。验证性因素分析结果表明，IPO-RT符合四双因子模型，四个双因子分别为幻听与幻视、妄想思维、社交缺陷及认知混乱。单因素模型最适配BIS的结构。拉希分析结果显示，两项量表均具备良好的项目/被试信度与单维性，且大部分项目均满足性别不变性。不过，IPO-RT的项目难度较高，而BIS的项目则相对易于作答认同。综合来看，本研究结果表明，IPO-RT与BIS均为概念严谨的直觉-体验型与分析-理性型思维间接评估指标。鉴于这两类思维风格的宽泛性，未来可开展的有效研究方向包括结合客观测验对IPO-RT与BIS的测评性能进行评估。
