Research to date on adaptive (sequential, branched, individualized, tailored, programmed, response-contingent) ability testing is reviewed and summarized, following a brief review of problems inherent in conventional individual and group approaches to ability measurement. Research reviewed includes empirical, simulation and theoretical studies of…

MacArthur, R.S. – 1962
The study assessed the general intellectual ability of Indian and Metis pupils of the Northwest Territory (N.W.T.), Canada. While minimizing cultural bias, an attempt was made to identify economical tests for this cultural group which would demonstrate (1) minimal loading on verbal and other culture-bound factors, (2) moderate relationship to…

Vale, C. David; Weiss, David J. – 1975
A conventional vocabulary test and two forms of a stradaptive vocabulary test were administered by a time-shared computer system to undergraduate college students. The two stradaptive tests differed in that one counted question mark responses (i.e., omitted items) as incorrect and the other ignored items responded to with question marks.…

Waters, Brian K. – 1975
This study empirically investigated the validity and utility of the stratified adaptive computerized testing model (stradaptive]developed by Weiss (1973). The model presents a tailored testing strategy based on Binet IQ measurement theory and Lord's (1972) modern test theory. Nationally normed School and College Ability Test Verbal analogy items…

Humphreys, Lloyd G.; And Others – 1970
This collection of papers, concerned with the nature and theory of intelligence, forms part of a project to integrate test and factor theory with the empirical, functional relationships involving standard intelligence tests. The project will render more objective the use of factor analysis in personnel research. A definition of intelligence…
