AI based e-Testing as a common yardstick for measuring human abilities

Abstract

It is difficult to evaluate a person’s ability or performances because there is no common yardstick for measuring individual human abilities. For example, in general, paper based tests have different characteristics (difficulties, accuracies, and so on) because they depend on items of each test. Recently, e-testing technologies from AI approach, for which each test form has equivalent measurement accuracy but with a different set of items, have become popular. Even if different examinees with the same ability take different tests, their test scores should be guaranteed to be equivalent. We introduce state-of the-art e-testing technologies from AI approach.
