Educational Science uses the innovative Total Transformative Trichotomy–Squared [Tri–Squared] Test as a means of informative inquiry. This novel approach to data analysis is a mixed methods research design that involves the holistic combination and comparison of qualitative and quantitative data. An example is provided on the psychometric process of creating trichotomous instruments that are an essential part of the Tri–Squared research investigative process.
