Peer reviewedWaters, Brian K. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1977
The validity and utility of the stratified adaptive computerized testing model (stradaptive) developed by Weiss are empirically investigated. The model presents a tailored testing strategy based upon Binet IQ measurement theory and Lord's modern test theory. (Author/RC)

Peer reviewedJensema, Carl J. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1977
Owen's Bayesian tailored testing method is introduced along with a brief review of its derivation. The characteristics of a good item bank are outlined and explored in terms of their influence on the Bayesian tailoring process. (Author/RC)

A tailored testing model employing the beta distribution, whose mean equals the difficulty of an item and whose variance is approximately equal to the sampling variance of the item difficulty, and employing conditional item difficulties, is proposed. The model provides a procedure by which a minimum number of items of a test, consisting of a set…

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…

PDF pending restorationCivil Service Commission, Washington, DC. Personnel Research and Development Center. – 1976
This pamphlet reprints three papers and an invited discussion of them, read at a Division 5 Symposium at the 1975 American Psychological Association Convention. The first paper describes a Bayesian tailored testing process and shows how it demonstrates the importance of using test items with high discrimination, low guessing probability, and a…

Hansen, Duncan N. – 1975
To what degree testing can become adaptive is considered in three ways: from a formal methodological perspective; from a human process, stability, perspective; and from a sub-system or component view within an adaptive instructional system (AIS). With the advent of large computer-based training systems, the opportunity to broadly implement…

Weiss, David J., Ed. – 1977
This symposium consists of five papers and presents some recent developments in adaptive testing which have applications to several military testing problems. The overview, by James R. McBride, defines adaptive testing and discusses some of its item selection and scoring strategies. Item response theory, or item characteristic curve theory, is…
