Assembling Tests for the Measurement of Multiple Traits.

van der Linden, Wim J.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v20 n4 p373-88 Dec 1996

For measurement of multiple traits, this paper proposes assembling tests based on the targets for the variance functions of the estimators of each of the traits. A linear programming model is presented to computerize the assembly process. An example of test assembly from a two-dimensional item pool is provided. (SLD)
