I have administered a 15statement attitude questionnaire with agree/ disagree response codes. The scale was developed as per method of Thurstone scale construction. I am finding mixed approaches to interpret the data:
1. one approach says just count the number of agree statements and that is a person's attitude score or take their percent
2. second approach says that the score for each statement is the median for that statement at the time of scale construction
Can anyone please guide on what is the right appraoch?
Many thanks!

Also what is the best source to read up more on the scale?
