An Item is the descriptive statement (accompanied by a rating scale) taken from the
original test (e.g., “I see myself as someone who is talkative”). An Item Postamble
presents the possible standardized responses the model can choose from, e.g.,
please rate your agreement on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 is
‘strongly disagree’, 2 is ‘disagree’, 3 is ‘neither agree nor
disagree’, 4 is ‘agree’, and 5 is ‘strongly agree’.
