Abstract
Multidimensional forced-choice (MFC) items have been widely used to assess career interests, values, and personality to prevent response biases. This tutorial first introduces the typical types of MFC items and the item response theory models to analyze MFC items. It further shows how to analyze the dichotomously and polytomously scored MFC items with paired statements based on the Rasch ipsative models using the computer program ACER ConQuest. The assessment of differential statement functioning using the ConQuest was also demonstrated.
