The empirical method of test construction involves collecting data through observation and experimentation, and using statistical analysis to identify items that differentiate between groups. This method is used for tests like the MMPI. The rational/theoretical method of test construction involves using a theory or model to guide the selection of test items, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
