Abstract

A new method of test selection, which attempts to combine the merits of the Toops L-Method with those of the Wherry-Doolittle Method, is presented. It results in integral (unit if desired) positive and/or negative (optional) weights. This flexibility makes the method applicable to all kinds of material and for both selecting items for tests and tests for batteries. An explicit solution of one test construction problem is presented. Necessary changes in method for the solution of five other types of test construction problem are presented. A few cautions are provided for potential users.
