Abstract
Previous attempts at incorporating expert test construction practices into computerized adaptive testing paradigms are described. A new method is presented for incorporating a large number of con straints on adaptive item selection. The meth odology emulates the test construction practices of expert test specialists, which is a necessity if com puterized adaptive testing is to compete with con ventional tests. Two examples—one for a verbal measure and the other for a quantitative measure— are provided of the successful use of the proposed method in designing adaptive tests.Keywords
