Absolute Decisions

**Absolute Decisions** is a type of measurement decision in generalizability theory in which observed scores are interpreted in terms of an individual’s absolute level of performance with respect to a fixed universe score or criterion, so that all sources of error affecting absolute score levels are relevant rather than only those influencing relative standing among persons.
