本文介绍了基于项目反应理论的适应性人格评价的理论基础和应用。比较了两种自适应测试策略：（a）固定测试长度和（B）临床决策。真实数据的模拟，从1,000名受试者的项目反应，谁以前采取了34项吸收规模（Tellegen，1982年）通过纸和笔的格式，被用来说明这些策略。结果表明，计算机化的适应性人格评估工作令人印象深刻。使用固定测试长度策略，在几乎没有测量精度损失的情况下，节省了50%的管理项目。在临床决策测试策略中，在吸收特质上极端的个体平均使用25%的可用项目以完美的准确度被识别。这些结果对人格研究和评估的影响进行了讨论。
This article introduces the theory behind and applications of adaptive personality assessment based on the item response theory. Two adaptive testing strategies were compared:(a) fixed test length and (b) clinical decision. Real-data simulations, based on the item responses from 1,000 subjects who had previously taken the 34-item Absorption scale (Tellegen, 1982) by means of paper-and-pencil format, were used to illustrate these strategies. Results suggest that computerized adaptive personality assessment works impressively well. With the fixed-test-length strategy, a 50% savings in administered items was achieved with little loss of measurement precision. In the clinical-decision testing strategy, individuals who were extreme on the Absorption trait were identified with perfect accuracy using, on average, 25% of the available items. The implications of these results for personality research and assessment are discussed.
