  • Stability and Change in Abilities for a Sample of Young Adults

    Open AccessRené V Dawis, Steven H Goldman et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1992

    The Ball Aptitude Battery, a multiple ability test battery, was administered to 121 young adults at age 18 and readministered at age 22. Test-retest correlations for individual tests ranged from .30 to .90, the highest coefficients (r tt s above .75) being observed on tests measuring (a) vocabulary, (b) hand and arm strength, (c) spatial ability, and (d) detail perception. Significant growth in ability (positive change scores) was observed on tes…

  • The Influence of Test Context On Item Difficulty

    Open AccessSusan E Whitely, René V DawisARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1976

    Item analysis techniques commonly assume that item difficulties are stable over varying test contexts. The current emphasis on information-efficiency and individualized selection of items has made context stability a critical assumption. The simple item difficulties and Rasch log easiness values of 15 verbal analogy items were compared over seven internally consistent analogy tests. The results indicate that 60% of the items varied over contexts …

  • A Model for Psychometrically Distinguishing Aptitude From Ability

    Open AccessSusan E Whitely, René V DawisARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1975

    It is widely agreed that current ability measures reflect a complex interaction of environment with genetic potential. This leads to a basic measurement problem since persons with the same measured ability may vary widely in potential due to nonequivalent learning opportunities. The purpose of this paper is to present a model which may hold some promise in psychometrically distinguishing ability (current status) from aptitude (potential). Data on…

  • An Investigation of the Rasch Simple Logistic Model

    Open AccessHoward E A Tinsley, René V DawisARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1975

    This research investigated the use of the Rasch simple logistic model in item and test calibration. Tests employing word, picture, symbol, and number analogies were administered to high school students, college students, civil service clerical employees, and clients of the Minnesota Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. The results indicated that Rasch item easiness ratios and z item difficulty ratios were invariant with respect to the ability o…

  • The Equivalence of Semantic and Figural Presentation of the Same Test Items

    Open AccessHoward E A Tinsley, René V DawisARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1974

    A 30-item multiple choice word analogy test and a corresponding 30-item picture analogy test (in which the pictures corresponded to the words in the word analogy test) were administered to 289 civil service clerical employees. The equivalence of semantic (word) and figural (picture) presentation of the same item was determined by comparing the responses of each subject on each item pair. The proportion of correspondent responses (both items answe…

  • Type of Content, Type of Score, and Response Inconsistency in Comparison Measures of Preference

    Open AccessE Merle, Merle E Ace et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1974

    Three experiments were conducted to determine the influence of type of content and type of score on response inconsistency. Types of content included: color preference, preference for work situations and preference for teacher characteristics. Types of scores were: circular triad score on the upper triangle, circular triad score on the lower triangle, and inconsistency score from a comparison of upper and lower triangles, all scores from a paired…
