Feher, Anita; Smith, Martin M.; Saklofske, Donald H.; Plouffe, Rachel A.; Wilson, Claire A.; Sherry, Simon B. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
The Big Three Perfectionism Scale (BTPS) is a 45-item self-report measure of perfectionism with three overarching factors: rigid, self-critical, and narcissistic perfectionism. Our objective was to create a brief version of the BTPS, the Big Three Perfectionism Scale--Short Form (BTPS-SF). Sixteen items were selected, and confirmatory factor…

Estimating the Reliability of a Test Containing Multiple Item Formats.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Qualls, Audrey L. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1995
Classically parallel, tau-equivalently parallel, and congenerically parallel models representing various degrees of part-test parallelism and their appropriateness for tests composed of multiple item formats are discussed. An appropriate reliability estimate for a test with multiple item formats is presented and illustrated. (SLD)

Hambleton, Ronald K., Ed. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1980
This special issue covers recent technical developments in the field of criterion-referenced testing. An introduction, six papers, and two commentaries dealing with test development, test score uses, and evaluation of scores review relevant literature, offer new models and/or results, and suggest directions for additional research.

Gilmer, Jerry S.; Feldt, Leonard S. – 1982
The Feldt-Gilmer congeneric reliability coefficients make it possible to estimate the reliability of a test composed of parts of unequal, unknown length. The approximate standard errors of the Feldt-Gilmer coefficients are derived via a method using the multivariate Taylor's expansion. Monte Carlo simulation is employed to corroborate the…

Evaluations of Implied Orders as a Basis for Tailored Testing Using Simulations. Technical Report No. 4.
Cliff, Norman; And Others – 1977
TAILOR is a computer program that uses the implied orders concept as the basis for computerized adaptive testing. The basic characteristics of TAILOR, which does not involve pretesting, are reviewed here and two studies of it are reported. One is a Monte Carlo simulation based on the four-parameter Birnbaum model and the other uses a matrix of…

Arizona Univ., Tucson. Center for Educational Evaluation and Measurement. – 1984
The Head Start Measures Project was a 3-year study to develop a set of measures designed specifically for Head Start children. The measures are based on a path-referenced approach to assessment, in which children's performance is described in terms of their position along paths of development. A path is defined as a sequence of skills within a…
