Swanson, Leonard; Rimland, Bernard – 1970
Improved differential assignment of Navy recruits to schools and jobs would be possible if a wider range of aptitudes and interests could be measured without unduly lengthening the time used in testing. The purpose of the study was to make a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of a computerized item selection program, program sequin, for…

Applegate, Brooks – 1987
Computer programs are presented to plot item and test characteristic curves and item information functions for parameter estimates produced by the LOGIST and BICAL computer programs. These programs provide data in tabular format, but their usefulness in test development and measurement courses can be greatly enhanced by graphic plots of the item…

Anastasio, Ernest J.; And Others – 1969
A study to facilitate computer generation of test items succeeded in developing a set of criteria which could be used by a computer to select sentences suitable for sentence completion question items. The sentence completion item requires the student to complete a sentence from which one or more words have been deleted. Analysis of 110 appropriate…
