On the Equivalence of Constructed-Response and Multiple-Choice Tests [electronic resource] / Ross E. Traub and Charles W. Fisher.
Two sets of mathematical reasoning and two sets of verbal comprehension items were cast into each of three formats--constructed response, standard multiple-choice, and Coombs multiple-choice--in order to assess whether tests with indentical content but different formats measure the same attribute, e...

| 520 | |a Two sets of mathematical reasoning and two sets of verbal comprehension items were cast into each of three formats--constructed response, standard multiple-choice, and Coombs multiple-choice--in order to assess whether tests with indentical content but different formats measure the same attribute, except for possible differences in error variance and scaling factors. The resulting 12 tests were administered to 199 eighth-grade students. The hypothesis of equivalent measures was rejected for only two comparisons: the constructed response measure of verbal comprehension was different from both the standard and the Coombs multiple-choice measures of this ability. Maximum likelihood factors analysis confirmed the hypothesis that a five factor structure will give a satisfactory account of the common variance among the 12 tests. As expected, the two major factors were mathematical reasoning and verbal comprehension. Contrary to expectation, only one of the other three factors bore a (weak) resemblance to a format factor. Tests marking the ability to follow directions, recall and recognition memory, and risk taking were included, but these variables did not correlate as expected with the three minor factors.
