These models are advantageous in modelling multidimensional competences because they allow direct comparisons between competing models and show the relationship between item difficulties and person ability parameters.
However, the definitions and measurements of health literacy are evolving and diverse across countries [ 37], with an increasing trend to measure multidimensional competences rather than a single competence [ 12, 38].
Psychometric models of the CDM family are probabilistic categorical-latent trait measurement models with the purpose of extracting multidimensional individual competence profiles (Rupp and Templin 2008).
Higher-level functional capacity was measured using the TMIG Index of Competence, a multidimensional 13-item index comprising 3 subscales of instrumental self-maintenance (IADL, 5 items), intellectual activity (4 items), and social roles (4 items).
Social competence is a multidimensional construct with an important role in adolescents' career development.
6 20 24 Our work supports the hypothesis that competence is a multidimensional construct.
The TMIG Index of Competence, a standardized multidimensional 13-item instrument developed by the TMIG group, was used to measure the participants' high-level ADL at the start of this study.
As a summary of the literature, competence concept is very multidimensional (e.g., focusing on clinical practice [nursing process], ethics, collaboration, leadership, education, and development work) and strongly related to, for example, age, work experience, and frequency of using specific competencies.
In New York, a similar but far smaller program was created two years ago, using consultants based at the Albany College of Medicine to provide an multidimensional assessment of a problem doctor's competence.
This 36-item multidimensional instrument evaluates children's perception of their own competence in several domains.
