This article presents a psychometric approach for extracting normative information from multidimensional forced-choice (MFC) formats while retaining the method's faking-resistant property. The approach draws on concepts from Coombs's unfolding models and modern item response theory to develop a theoretical model of the judgment process used to answer MFC items, which is then used to develop a scoring system that provides estimates of normative trait standings.

Key Words: ipsative measurement • multidimensional forced choice • personality assessment • generalized graded unfolding model • faking • item response theory
