“…From the studies conducted with MixIRT models in the literature, it can be seen that MixIRT is used in achievement tests (Bolt, Cohen & Wollack, 2001;De Ayala & Santiago, 2017;Yalçın, 2018), Likert-type scales (Egberink et al, 2010;Ölmez & Cohen, 2018), personality questionnaires (Maij-de Meij et al, 2008), and to determine the response style (Eid & Zickar, 2007;Huang, 2016). The literature reveals that more studies were encountered regarding application of MixIRT in the achievement tests but there is a lack of studies on the use and introduction of MixIRT models in graded scales.…”
