CAT is an exception to the traditional conception of validity. It is one of the few examples of individualized testing. Item difficulty is tailored to each examinee. The intent, however, is increased efficiency. Focus on reliability (reduced standard error); Equivalence with paper \& pencil tests is valued; Validity is enhanced through improved reliability.

How Else Might We Individualize Testing Using CAT?

An ISV-Based View of Validity

Test Event -- An examinee encounters a series of items in a particular context.

CAT Goal: individualize testing to address CIV threats to score validity (i.e., maximize ISV).
