Talk:Georg Rasch

Untitled
There is no mention in this article of the "objective measure tradition" in psychometrics that Rasch founded. Nor is "specific objectivity" much discussed.

I was also curious about whether or not Rasch was an eugenicist, as were earlier pioneers in statistics, like Pearson, Fisher, Yerkes, and even Thorndike. Thorndikes successor at Columbia University was using eugenicist arguments well into the 1960s to oppose school integration. This did not go over well with the SDS.

Pronunciation
How did he pronounce his name? I had to say it out loud for the first time (on a teleconference) and said "rash" as in "diaper rash". Should it be "rask" as in "rascal"? Norman21 (talk) 14:53, 3 February 2016 (UTC) Gsmcghee (talk) 22:22, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This is an important question, would you please add the correct pronunciation via Template:IPAc-en template? Additionally, his full name is "Georg William Rasch" and first line should use the complete name (includes "William"). Is that correct? Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 14:48, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, he pronounced the ra close to being as in rascal, and the sch like sh. Holon (talk) 11:34, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
