Important stimuli to the renewed interest in adaptive testing have been the development of item-response theory in psychometrics, which models the responses on test items using separate parameters for the items and test takers, and the use of computers in test administration, which enables us to estimate the parameter for a test taker and select the items in real time. This article reviews a selection from the latest developments in the technology of adaptive testing, such as constrained adaptive item selection, adaptive testing using rule-based item generation, multidimensional adaptive testing, adaptive use of test batteries, and the use of response times in adaptive testing.</p>
