About the Book

Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) was first developed by the US Department of Defense in the early 1960s; it has since become a standard in vocational testing. From the original CAT research, the department created the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), now the world's largest and most-administered test battery. This text traces the history of the Department of Defense's research, development and implementation of the CAT-ASVAB and presents research on the growing areas where this type of test can be used. The CAT-ASVAB has been hailed as a battery which deals successfully with psychometric, economic and political issues. This book sets out ways of using technology to measure and encourage optimum performance.
