A Multidimensional Scaling Study of College Students' Perceptions of Test Item Formats.

Rocklin, Thomas

Applied Measurement in Education, v5 n2 p123-36 1992

College students rated dissimilarity of pairs of common test item formats. A multidimensional scaling model with individual differences fit to data from 111 students suggested that they used 2 dimensions to distinguish among the formats, 1 separating supply from selection items and 1 based on the number of options.
