The BEAR (Berkeley Evaluation and Assessment Research) model for the design of measuring instruments and their components is presented based on the reading of the second edition of the book by Wilson & Tan, from the University of Berkley. The model is emphasized for its facilities in uniting theoretical concepts with the psychometric measurement model, and the possibilities it represents for the design of appropriate instruments, and therefore correct inferences when it comes to collecting evidence on psychological, behavioral, attitudinal and ability traits. The steps of the process are discussed, and questions are presented about the potentialities of the model outside the assumption of One-dimensionality.
