Sintesi	Ordinal generalizability theory extends classical G-theory to the analysis of reliability and measurement error when item responses are ordered categorical (e.g., Likert-type) rather than continuous. It partitions score variance into components attributable to persons, facets, and their interactions, while accounting for the discrete, bounded nature of ordinal rating scales.	Ordinal item response theory (ordinal IRT) comprises a family of probabilistic models — most notably the Graded Response Model and the Partial Credit Model — that relate a respondent's standing on a latent trait to the probability of choosing each ordered response category on a polytomous item. It extends classical IRT beyond dichotomous items to the Likert-type and rating-scale items that dominate psychometric measurement.
