Computerized Adaptive Test Convergent Validity

Convergent validity assessment for computerized adaptive tests (CATs) examines whether the ability or trait estimates produced by an adaptive algorithm correlate substantially with scores from other measures of the same construct. Because each examinee receives a different subset of items in a CAT, demonstrating that the resulting scores still converge with theoretically related external measures is a critical step in establishing construct validity evidence.
