Psychometrics
An item in psychometrics usually refers to a test question, but I'm not sure if it refers to its answers as well. A psychometrist's opinion would be useful, or at least someone knowledgable on the topic.


 * I suppose the definition is trying to include the idea of a question with a set of multiple-choice answers &mdash; not the actual responses from those surveyed. Equinox ◑ 00:45, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Video games: "an object that can be picked up for later use"
Are we sure? Seems like a distinction without a difference. I understand that some things ("items" as our entry claims) can be held in inventory for later, while others take immediate effect ("power-ups"??) but I'm not convinced that distinction really exists across all games.
