The authors present a method for Item Co-Relational Structure (ICRS) analysis which can be used to analyze the relational structures among test items. This ICRS method is an extension of the Item Relational Structure (IRS) method proposed by M. Takeya. This new method, however, makes it possible to take into account the logical sum ensemble hierarchy structure among the items. The authors, using actual data, also discuss the differences between the structure obtained by these two methods.
