I don't have the background required for assessing the value of the underlying approach, but I thought I would point out James W. Grice's Object Oriented Modeling webpage:
psychology.okstate.edu/faculty/jgrice/personalitylab/methods.htm
There's also a book on it:
www.amazon.com/Observation-Oriented-Modeling-Behavioral-Technology/dp/0123851947/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1334524073&sr=1-1-fkmr1
Grice sees his approach to measurement in psychology as (broadly) Aristotelian in orientation, giving priority to actual causal explanation of behavior rather than to statistical analysis of the abstract features of the population.
