Empirical and Simulation Studies of Flexilevel Ability Testing.

Abstract

A 40-item flexilevel test and a 40-item conventional test were compared using data obtained through (1) computer-administration of the two tests to three groups of college students, and (2) Monte Carlo simulation of test response patterns. The overall test-retest stability of the two tests was equivalent, but there was evidence indicating that memory effects inflated the stability of the flexilevel test scores less than that of conventional test scores.
