Cet article offre une introduction aux derniers développements dans le domaine de l'évaluation assistée par ordinateur, en particulier celui du testing adaptative informatisée (TAI). L'estimation de l'aptitude, la sélection des items et le développement d'une base d'items dans le cas du TAI sont discutés. De plus, des exemples d'utilisations innovantes de l'ordinateur dans des systèmes intégrés de testing et de testing via Internet sont présentés. L'article se termine par quelques illustrations de nouvelles applications du testing informatisé et des suggestions pour des recherches futures.Discusses the latest developments in computerized psychological assessment, with emphasis on computerized adaptive testing (CAT).

J. %K Adaptive Testing %K Computer Applications %K Computer Assisted Testing %K Personality Measures %K Test Reliability computerized adaptive testing %X Studied the applicability of a computerized adaptive testing procedure to an existing personality questionnaire within the framework of item response theory. The procedure was applied to the scores of 1,143 male and female university students (mean age 21.8 yrs) in the Netherlands on the Neuroticism scale of the Amsterdam Biographical Questionnaire (G. J. Wilde, 1963). The graded response model (F. Samejima, 1969) was used. The quality of the adaptive test scores was measured based on their correlation with test scores for the entire item bank and on their correlation with scores on other scales from the personality test. The results indicate that computerized adaptive testing can be applied to personality scales.
