This paper investigates how students vary in their conception and engagement of the diagnostic process. The research question is whether it is possible to isolate appropriate sources of variation that are sufficiently psychometrically and conceptually robust for modelling purposes. Eleven such sources of variation are reported, together with an associated common‐factor empirical model that is readily interpretable in conceptual terms.
