Adaptive Testing: The Evolution of a Good Idea.

Reckase, Mark D.

Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v8 n3 p11-15 Fall 1989

Requirements for adaptive testing are reviewed, and the reasons implementation has taken so long are explored. The adaptive test is illustrated through the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale of L. M. Terman and M. A. Merrill (1960). Current adaptive testing is tied to the development of item response theory. (SLD)
