“…For example, Chien et al (2011) have developed a Web-CAT based on the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ-37), and have proven the CAT assessment to be more efficient than traditional computer-based or pen-and-paper assessments at collecting data regarding workers' perceptions of job content.…”

“…Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) can save time and alleviate the burden on both examinees and test administrators, as compared to traditional computer-based or pen-andpaper assessments (Chien et al, 2011;Chien, Wu, Wang, Castillo, & Chou, 2009;Lord, 1990;Wainer et al, 1990). CAT, which is based on Item Response Theory (IRT), is a test administration method that tailors the assessment to the latent-trait level of the examinee (Cella, Gershon, Lai, & Choi, 2007;Jette, Haley, Ni, Olarsch, & Moed, 2008;Lord, 1990).…”

Título: Evaluación adaptativa informatizada del clima organizacional. Resumen: Los Tests Adaptativos Informatizados (CAT) constituyen un gran avance en el campo de la evaluación de las ciencias sociales y de la salud. Es interesante incorporar este desarrollo metodológico al campo de la psicología organizacional. El objetivo de esta investigación es desarrollar un CAT para evaluar el clima organizacional. Para ello, se construyó un banco de 160 ítems, que se administró a una muestra de 3163 trabajadores (M = 51,90 años; DT = 6,28 años). Los resultados muestran que el CAT funciona de manera eficiente para los tres bancos de ítems utilizados (150, 130 y 50 ítems). La función de información muestra que el rasgo latente se mide con una precisión similar en todo el rango de valores. La correlación entre las puntuaciones obtenidas con el CAT, los tres bancos de ítems y la escala CLIOR de clima organizacional fue superior a 0,90 en todos los casos (ET <0,32). Con una precisión fiajada en ET <0,32, el CAT de 150 ítems utiliza una media de 22,5 ítems (DT = 13,5). El CAT desarrollado permite una evaluación útil y precisa del clima organizacional en contextos organizacionales.

Abstract:Computerized Adaptive Tests (CAT) constitutes a major advance in the field of the assessment of social sciences and health. It is interesting to incorporate this methodological development to organizational field. The objective of this research is to develop a CAT for evaluating the organizational climate. In order to do this, a bank of 160 items was constructed, which was administered to a sample of 3,163 workers (M age= 51.90 years; SD= 6.28 years). The results show that the CAT works efficiently for the three item banks used (150, 130 and 50 items). The information function shows that the latent trait in the whole range of values is measured with similar accuracy. The correlation between the scores obtained with the CAT, the three item banks and the CLIOR scale of organizational climate was higher than .90 in all cases (SE<0.32). With a SE< 0.32, the 150 item CAT uses a mean of 22.5 items (SD = 13.5 items). The CAT developed allows an accuracy and useful assessment of the organizational climate on organizational settings and research.

“…Eggen and Straetmans (2000) combined IRT with statistical procedures, like sequential probability ratio test and weighted maximum likelihood, for classifying examinees into categories (Eggen & Straetmans, 2000). Following IRT but moving in the field of psychological assessment, (Chien et al, 2011) developed a Web-based CAT for collecting data regarding workers' perceptions of job satisfaction in the hospital workplace. Simms et al (2011) started the CAT-PD (CAT for Personality Disorders) project aimed at realizing a computerized adaptive assessment system, IRT-based, for personality disorders.…”

The clinical assessment of mental disorders can be a time-consuming and error-prone procedure, consisting of a sequence of diagnostic hypothesis formulation and testing aimed at restricting the set of plausible diagnoses for the patient. In this article, we propose a novel computerized system for the adaptive testing of psychological disorders. The proposed system combines a mathematical representation of psychological disorders, known as the "formal psychological assessment," with an algorithm designed for the adaptive assessment of an individual's knowledge. The assessment algorithm is extended and adapted to the new application domain. Testing the system on a real sample of 4,324 healthy individuals, screened for obsessive-compulsive disorder, we demonstrate the system's ability to support clinical testing, both by identifying the correct critical areas for each individual and by reducing the number of posed questions with respect to a standard written questionnaire.

“…One of the indicator of this trend is that there are many different studies conducted favoring post-hoc simulations based on real data sets in the context of CAT (Gardner et al, 2004;Haley et al, 2009;Smits, Cuijpers, & van Straten, 2011;Betz, & Turner, 2011). On the other hand, there are some other studies which aimed at developing Live-CAT version of tests in paper-pencil format (Hol, Vorst & Mellenbergh, 2007;Gibbons et al, 2008;Chien, Wang, Wang & Lin, 2009;Chien et al, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the applicability of Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) for English Proficiency Tests (EPT) and to determine the most suitable unidimensional-CAT algorithm that aims to measure language ability of university students. In addition, results of CAT designs were compared to the results of the original paper-pencil format of EPT. For this purpose, real data set was used to create item pool. In order to determine the best CAT algorithm for EPT, three different theta estimation methods, three different Fisherinformation based item selection methods and four different Kullback-Leibler divergence based item selection methods and three different termination methods were used. In total, 63 different conditions were taken into consideration and results of these conditions were compared with respect to SEM, averaged number of administered items, reliability coefficients and RMSD values between full bank theta and estimated CAT theta. Results indicated that using different theta estimation methods and item selection methods and termination rules had substantial effect on SEM of estimated theta, averaged number of administered items and RMSD values. Averaged number of administered items decreased to less than 11 items when precision criteria to terminate the analysis was set to .30. Overall, EAP estimation method with Fixed pointwise Kullback-Leibler (FP-KL) item selection and precision based stopping rule (0.20) yield more consistent results with smaller RMSD and SEM. Results indicated that post-hoc CAT simulation for EPT provided ability estimations with higher reliability and fewer items compared to corresponding paper and pencil format.
