McMorris, Robert F.; Boothroyd, Roger A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1993
Classroom tests developed by 41 seventh- and eighth-grade science and mathematics teachers were analyzed by content and measurement experts. The quality of a teacher's test was best predicted by performance on a multiple-choice test of measurement competence. Implications for teacher training in measurement are discussed. (SLD)

Rocklin, Thomas – Applied Measurement in Education, 1992
College students rated dissimilarity of pairs of common test item formats. A multidimensional scaling model with individual differences fit to data from 111 students suggested that they used 2 dimensions to distinguish among the formats, 1 separating supply from selection items and 1 based on the number of options.
