Abstract
Multiple recent collaborations of metrology engineers and psychometricians have identified new areas of common interest and shared methods. Of particular note are criteria for well-defined measurands and unit quantities that retain their properties across samples and instruments. Such criteria are integrated into the BEAR Assessment System (BAS) and also into its accompanying software, the BEAR Assessment System Software (BASS), an online application built on the idea of measurement scales that stand for generalized invariant patterns of abilities, health states, behaviours, etc. The repeatable stability of these structures has been established for decades, with metrological potentials of in..
