Evaluation Plan for the Computerized Adaptive Vocational Aptitude Battery

Abstract

The United States Armed Services are planning to introduce computerized adaptive testing (CAT) into the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), which is a major part of the present personnel assessment procedures. Adaptive testing will improve efficiency greatly by assessing each candidate's answers as the test progresses and posing items most appropriate for that candidate, thus avoiding items that are too easy or too hard. Computer presentation, recording, and scoring of the ASVAB will improve test security.
