McBride %K computerized adaptive testing %X (from the cover) This book traces the development of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) from its origins in the 1960s to its integration with the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) in the 1990s. A paper-and-pencil version of the battery (P&P-ASVAB) has been used by the Defense Department since the 1970s to measure the abilities of applicants for military service. The test scores are used both for initial qualification and for classification into entry-level training opportunities. /// This volume provides the developmental history of the CAT-ASVAB through its various stages in the Joint-Service arena. Although the majority of the book concerns the myriad technical issues that were identified and resolved, information is provided on various political and funding support challenges that were successfully overcome in developing, testing, and implementing the battery into one of the nation's largest testing programs. The book provides useful information to professionals in the testing community and everyone interested in personnel assessment and evaluation.

McBride %K computerized adaptive testing %X (from the chapter) This chapter sets the stage for the entire computerized adaptive testing Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (CAT-ASVAB) development program by describing the state of the art immediately preceding its inception. By the mid-l970s, a great deal of research had been conducted that provided the technical underpinnings needed to develop adaptive tests, but little research had been done to corroborate empirically the promising results of theoretical analyses and computer simulation studies. In this chapter, the author summarizes much of the important theoretical and simulation research prior to 1977. In doing so, he describes a variety of approaches to adaptive testing, and shows that while many methods for adaptive testing had been proposed, few practical attempts had been made to implement it. Furthermore, the few instances of adaptive testing were based primarily on traditional test theory, and were developed in laboratory settings for purposes of basic research. The most promising approaches, those based on item response theory and evaluated analytically or by means of computer simulations, remained to be proven in the crucible of live testing.

J. %K computerized adaptive testing %X Investigated the relationships between selected subtests from the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and corresponding subtests administered as computerized adaptive tests (CATs), using 270 17-26 yr old Marine recruits as Ss. Ss were administered the ASVAB before enlisting and approximately 2 wks after entering active duty, and the CAT tests were administered to Ss approximately 24 hrs after arriving at the recruit depot. Results indicate that 3 adaptive subtests correlated as well with ASVAB as did the 2nd administration of the ASVAB, although CAT subtests contained only half the number of items. Factor analysis showed CAT subtests to load on the same factors as the corresponding ASVAB subtests, indicating that the same abilities were being measured. It is concluded that CAT can achieve the same measurement precision as a conventional test, with half the number of items.
