Abstract
Psychology testing, especially personality, has become an important role in selection practices in both education and industrial organization sectors. However, to implement psychology testing into the selection process has been challenged with social desirability response problems which respondents try to distort an answer in order to pass the selection. Consequently, there are currently many proposed solutions to this problem, in which one of those efficiency solutions is to construct measures with forced choice format. Nevertheless, forced choice format with traditional scoring has limitation in measuring individual difference that is a key point of the selection practices, which is called Ipsativity problem. Nowadays, Item Response Theory is applied to overcome this problem of forced choice format implementation. As a result of developed item response models, forced choice format with normative scoring approach can be practically implemented in selection context.
