-. Item Writers Aptitude Test Development Coornittec <strong>Report</strong> Date of Meeting: 21 October 196t. Place of Meeting: EfCA Conference, Fort Benjamin HarrLdon, Indianapolis, Indiana. Committee Members: Mr. William W. !kr!ce, USA, Chainon Lt Harvey C. Gregoire, USAF Mr. fn:,rlte A, Nudoon, US?4 I:r. John D. Kraf t, USA Hajor Joe R. Shafer, USAF #r. William M. Minter, USA hmary of Discussion: a. All services rsprejented gave a brief description of hov their test item writers are selected, None of the service8 currently u8es er.y special selection procedures other than subject-mhttar knowledge. The coernittee members felt that Subject-matter background was not a serious problem since the itcm uritars befng designated for test item construction duties are generally adequate in this respect. b. In general) the item urttero in all services perform skmilar duties. The Navy and Air Porte have their ftem writera come to a central location here they work directly with tC8t speclalist8. The Amy operates on a more decentralized basis in that the item writers are located mainly at Army Sertlice Schools and construct test itomr bared on wrtttcu speclffcotionr sent to them by the US Army Enlisted Evaluatior, Center. Test Sp.?Ciatt~tS from the latter locetfon make TDY trips to the item-writing agencies to coordinate the test development efforts, c. The ccmmittes felt that the followfng two major areas should be inveetigated as being most likely to provide valid fact ~8 which would asslat in screening the better from the poorer test item writers: (1) Personal hfatory items. (2) Test results obtained from measuring factoru, such a8 English usage, intelligence, and analytical reading ability. , d. Some “brain storming” vas done by the cora3fttee to get some fndfcation of the types of personal history items or teets that might be used to asse8s item writera’ aptitude. However, the committee felt that a thorough and ccmprehenstve analysfe would need to be made of the f tern writer duties before the best groupfng of potential personal history item8 and tests could be compiled for use in fretting up an experimental desfgn appropriate for conducting a validation study. 1. - . 182 _ . _ _. _.._.-_--.. -_--- -.--.-- - - _^ .- . . - .
