The Ultimate Tutorial for AI-driven Scale Development in Generative Psychometrics: Releasing AIGENIE from its Bottle
AIGENIE automates early scale development by combining LLM text generation with network psychometrics. It uses a six-step pipeline—embedding, EGA, UVA, bootstrap EGA, selection of sparse embeddings, and stability testing—to reduce candidate items into structurally validated pools in silico. This speeds up measurement creation significantly.
