Psychometric Support for Test Item-Type Linkages to Six Ability Constructs Measured in the Entrance Examination for the D. C. Fire Department

摘要

The report summarizes the support found in the psychometric literature for the existence of the six ability constructs and the linkage of each of the item types chosen to measure them. This report does not discuss the requirements for measuring these particular constructs; that discussion is contained in other project reports concerned with the job analyses, the test plan development, and the validity of the examination.
