On some Issues in the Accelerated CAT-ASVAB (Computerized Adaptive Testing-Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) Project

Abstract

The Accelerated CAT-ASVAB Project (ACAP) may serve as the pilot version for national implementation of computerized adaptive testing (CAT) for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Two major decisions in ACAP involve the introduction of new items into the tests, and setting time limits. This Research Memorandum takes the position that the long-term benefits which CAT may provide are more important than purely technical concerns and makes recommendations based on this position. Keywords: Naval personnel, Recruits.
