Xavier Jouve, Ph.D.

Psychometrician

Xavier Jouve, Ph.D., is a psychometrician specializing in cognitive-ability measurement, item response theory, and test construction. As Head of Research at Cogn-IQ, he has built the Jouve-Cerebrals series of fluid- and crystallized-ability tests (JCTI, JCCES, JCWS, JCFS), calibrated with 2PL IRT and computerized adaptive testing. His original methodological work includes group-theoretic symmetry constraints and self-calibrating estimators for item response models, a randomized resampling approach to reliability (the coefficient ξ), Bayesian hierarchical estimation, and scoring methods for open-ended ability items. His Épreuve de Performance Cognitive (2005) was published in France by ECPA (Pearson).
