A one‐step covariance structure analysis procedure for estimation of maximal reliability of linear composites with congeneric measures is outlined. The approach is readily employed within a single modelling session using popular covariance structure analysis software, and permits simultaneous estimation of the optimal measure weights with standard errors. The method is illustrated by a numerical example.
