Rationale Discrimination is Good

Controversial isn't it? Well hold your horses, I am not talking about racial discrimination. Rather, I am talking about psychometrics. When exploring Classical Test Theory (CTT) it looks at the difference between one measure and another.

How the Item Functions Within the test

There are so many little details about conducting a test. Recently, I have been just observing. Vicarious learning if you shall say. What is the function of some things in our life? This is a question I have wondered as some of us settle even when we know the function isn't beneficial to us. I get it, the short-term can be so satisfying. I remember being in that moment. Shoot, I still make some short-term gratifying silly decisions. Yet, my guy friends always leave me with some advice. Is it worth it?

I am going to keep it short. Partly because I want to watch this movie on Netflix but because I think that question speaks a couple of paragraphs worth. But, if you are like me, most of the time it was a no. I am slowly moving away from things that aren't worth it. Being in a small town is worth the degree. Being cute off the coast of Florida was not worth four more years than my program. Moving back home is worth the peace and saving money and walking away if worth your time and heart. The list goes on and on. I think to answer my friend's question you also have to ask yourself another question; What are you worth?

Understand the difference between items in your life and step closer to the life you want to live.
