خلاصه	Multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) generalizes IRT to tests that measure more than one latent ability at once. Instead of a single ability θ, each examinee is characterized by a vector of abilities, and each item by a vector of discriminations indicating how strongly it taps each dimension. MIRT unites the logic of item response theory with the structure of factor analysis, letting analysts model, for example, that a word-problem item draws on both reading and mathematics. Synthesized in Reckase's authoritative treatment, it underlies the analysis of complex, multi-skill assessments.	Item response theory models the probability that a respondent answers an item correctly (or endorses it) as a function of the respondent's latent trait level and the item's own statistical properties — difficulty, discrimination, and guessing. Unlike classical test theory, IRT places persons and items on the same scale, yielding measurement that is sample-independent for items and test-independent for persons.
