In psychometric studies disagreement among experts is frequently treated as error void of informational value. The present study deviates from this approach and utilizes disagreement among experts in item classification as a source for examining the structural characteristics of the classification scheme. Guttman's smallest space analysis applied to an agreement‐disagreement matrix suggests that the item‐classification scheme reflects two different approaches to testing outcomes of studying history: that of the cognitive psychology and that of the philosophy of history.
