Dave Thissen's Front Page

Welcome. I am at the Department of Psychology, and the L.L. Thurstone Psychometric Laboratory, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I teach in the graduate program in quantitative psychology, and in the undergraduate program in psychology---mostly on topics in the areas of psychological testing and measurement and item response theory.

In addition, in collaboration with graduate students here and colleagues elsewhere, I am involved in research on contemporary developments in the theory of educational and psychological testing. Support from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, the College Board, and the National Institutes of Health facilitates this work. The National Institute of Mental Health has also provided support for graduate students to participate in this research.

If you want to reach me, use one or more of the addresses below. Also listed below are a more formal description of my life, lists of our published work, a page with links that may help you to acquire interesting software, and the back page that illustrates some of my other interests.
