Although not as effective as using phylogenetically independent contrasts (Felsenstein, 1985), limiting comparisons to congeneric pairs would be a reliable alternative, as we can be quite confident that these share a more recent common ancestor than species in other genera (Silvertown & Dodd, 1996).

Parallel models based on less restrictive assumptions than those holding for strictly parallel forms have been proposed--for example, tau-equivalent or congeneric measures (Lord & Novick, 1968; Joreskog, 1971)--but the definition of these models is still based on hypothesized characteristics of the unobservable true scores, and the degree of equivalence between test forms cannot be directly verified.
