Abstract
Psychometrics and quantitative psychology rely strongly on statistical models to measure psychological processes. As a branch of mathematics, geometry is inherently connected to measurement and focuses on properties such as distance and volume. However, despite the common root of measurement, geometry is currently not used a lot in psychological measurement. In this paper, my aim is to illustrate how ideas from non-Euclidean geometry may be relevant for psychometrics.
