Abstract

Even if test administrators have test items for computerized adaptive testing (CAT), they need to develop testing system for administration. Difficulty of testing system development causes a barrier to utilize CAT in educational or clinical psychology field. To solve this current situation, we developed general purpose computerized adaptive testing system which is easy to administrate small-scale CAT.

Because this system is a Microsoft Windows application, it can work as stand-alone only if we copy it to a hard disk drive or a USB flash drive. System users are able to set up the system by themselves just to prepare test questions as Microsoft Word document files (or image files) and information of items as Microsoft Excel document files.

Teachers and researchers which have test contents have not administrated CAT easily before. However this system is possible to carry out small-scale CAT for them.
