Abstract

Although many fluid reasoning (Gf) tests have been developed, there is a lack of figural tests measuring its lower-order process factors simultaneously. The present article introduces the development of the Multidimensional Induction-Deduction Computerized Adaptive Test (MID-CAT) to measure two process factors of Gf. The MID-CAT is designed to provide an instrument that is flexible, efficient, and entirely free for non-commercial use. We created 530 items and administered them to a sample of N = 2,247. Items were fitted and calibrated using the Rasch model. The results indicate that the final item pool has a wide range of difficulties that could precisely measure a wide range of test-takers' abilities. A simulation study also indicates that MID-CAT provides greater measurement efficiency than separate-unidimensional CAT or fixed-item test. In the discussion, we provide perspectives on how the MID-CAT can be used for future research.

利用多维计算机适应性测试测量流体推理的过程因素。

尽管已经开发了许多流体推理（Gf）测验，但还缺乏同时测量其低阶过程因素的形象测验。本文介绍了多维诱导--诱导计算机化自适应测验（MID-CAT）的开发情况，以测量流体推理的两个过程因素。MID-CAT旨在提供一种灵活、高效且完全免费的非商业性使用工具。我们创建了 530 个项目，并对 N = 2,247 个样本进行了施测。我们使用 Rasch 模型对项目进行了拟合和校准。结果表明，最终的项目库具有广泛的难度，可以精确测量各种应试者的能力。模拟研究还表明，MID-CAT 比单独的单维 CAT 或固定项目测试具有更高的测量效率。在讨论中，我们就如何将 MID-CAT 用于未来研究提出了自己的看法。

期刊介绍： Assessment publishes articles in the domain of applied clinical assessment. The emphasis of this journal is on publication of information of relevance to the use of assessment measures, including test development, validation, and interpretation practices. The scope of the journal includes research that can inform assessment practices in mental health, forensic, medical, and other applied settings. Papers that focus on the assessment of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning, personality, and psychopathology are invited. Most papers published in Assessment report the results of original empirical research, however integrative review articles and scholarly case studies will also be considered.
