Abstract
Psychometrics and the representational theory of measurement (RTM) are widely used in social scientific measurement. They are currently pursued largely in isolation from one another. I argue that despite their separation in practice, RTM and psychometrics are complementary approaches, because they can contribute in complementary ways to the establishment of what I argue is a crucial measurement property, namely, Representational Interpretability. Because RTM and psychometrics are complementary in the establishment of Representational Interpretability, the current separation of measurement approaches is unfounded.
