“…Constraints on equated results were imposed to insure increasing monotonicity and t, restrict equated scores to the raw test score range. The first four moments of a distribution (mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis) were computed for the two groups on the NO and CS data, and several deviation indices (bias, average absolute deviations, and root mean square deviation; see Ree, Mathews, Mullins, & Massey, 1982) were computed to compare the equatings.…”

In the late 1970s, the Department of Defense requested that the reference population for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) be changed and updated to reflect the current you, 1 population. Analyses of new data collected in 1980 indicated that speeded subtest scores of the new sample were atypically low and that the sample might therefore be inappropriate for use as a reference. A preliminary investigation traced the problem to a nonoperational answer sheet used for data collection of the 1980 youth sample. The present project was designed as a large-scale test of the differences between these nonoperational answer sheets and the operational answer sheets. Data were collected on the two speeded subtests from about 9,500 service applicants at Military Entrance Processing Stations; half used operational and half used nonoperational answer sheets that were employed in the youth sample. Scores from nonoperational answer sheets were then equated to scores from the operational answer sheets. Adjustments based on equatings between the operational and nonoperational answer sheets were found to resolve the observed anomalies in the 1980 sample. Results indicated that the 1980 sample of American youth could be used appropriately with these adjustments. (Author/LMO)

“…Accordingly, the summary statistics for ASVAB 8b (reported in Ree et al, 1982, Tables 3 and 18) were used as a basis for comparison with the simulated test scores. Examinee responses to the 0 Form 3 (easy, long) AR, WK, and NO subtests and to the Form 1 (easy, short) PC subtest were used to maximize test-form comparability between the real and simulated data sets.…”
