Expert-System Scores for Complex Constructed-Response Quantitative Items: A Study of Convergent Validity.

Bennett, Randy Elliot; And Others

Applied Psychological Measurement, v15 n3 p227-39 Sep 1991

Convergent validity of expert-systems scores for 4 complex constructed-response mathematical formats was assessed for 249 examinees from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test in June 1989. The hypothesized five-factor model fit the data well, but an alternative with two dimensions (GRE-quantitative and constructed-response) represented data almost as well. (SLD)
