Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Who said that we would ADJUST the results? Heck no! What I said is that we would not report scores that seem suspect or are not reliable. Now you would not really want us to report scores that were not true measures of the student's ability, now would you??? To George C: I loved your response regarding IRT and pattern scoring and then stopped thinking it would be too technical. Hoverer, you explained it very well. BTW my comment was in reference to tests of malingering and not so much to how IRT can be used to detect bizarre response patterns and cheating. But what you stated is definitely something that we and--as you pointed out--other test publishers have been doing for years. Thanks for making my point so much clearer.
