What is it about?
Psychological attributes are measured in many different ways. The functional relationships between an attribute and its observed measures are unknown. We present a method that can recover these relationships by relying on only ordinal properties of the observed measures.

Why is it important?
The problem we address has been unsolved throughout the history of psychology even though it is fundamental to scientific progress. It affects the interpretation of many empirical results which may need to be revised following application of our new methodology.
Perspectives
This article would not have been possible without the fruitful collaboration with my co-author whose insights were crucial to development of our new method. I am hopeful that researchers will realize its relevance and incorporate it in their work.
