This article examines how standard mental health tests may lose validity for individuals with very high intelligence, suggesting measurement invariance issues across intelligence levels. It also explores how nonlinear patterns between intelligence and reported mental health could be affected by the tools used to measure them.

The piece highlights why measurement tools might not capture the mental health status of highly intelligent individuals accurately, prompting questions about research conclusions on intelligence and well-being.

Thank you to Mona Kanaan (UoYork, UK) for asking me to present in the panel

"From study to target populations: Addressing #ExternalValidity through the lens of Transportability and Generalisability"
(1:50pm, #MedicalStatistics)

I'll present on #MeasurementInvariance 😊

#RSS2025 #Psychometrics

It's #FollowFriday! πŸ˜ƒ. And I got an amazing suggestion for anyone interested in #psychometrics, #measurement, #MeasurementInvariance, #ExperienceSampling, #IntensiveLongitudinalData, and just #statistics and #rstats in general πŸ˜‰.

Be sure to follow @LeonieVogelsm! An Assistant Professor in #methods and #statistics at #TilburgUniversity who does amazing work to improve the (assessment of) measurement in #IntensiveLongitudinalData.

And she's just an amazing person too 😊

#introduction hey, everyone. I'm a gay psychologist who focuses on measuring cognitive ability, quantitative psychology, and psychometrics. I work mostly in measuring educational achievement. I have a sociological background in Marxian philosophy and am dedicated to social justice. In my spare time I paint portraits and exercise. #PsychologicalMethods #painting #measurementerror #MeasurementInvariance

Reading this paper on #MeasurementInvariance by (among others) Rens van de Schoot, Kim De Roover, Suzanne Jak, Tihomir Asparouhov, and Bengt MuthΓ©n. Love it and can't remember highlighting so many passages πŸ˜…. (don't think authors are on Mastodon, but please correct me πŸ˜‰)
