| Abstract | This study describes alternate test form development for a Situational Judgment Inventory (SJI) predicting college performance. Principal axis factor analysis of responses to the SJI lent support for a general factor, yet each SJI form sampled items across 12 distinct rationally derived content areas. The first step of developing alternate forms involved random and representative sampling of SJI items across each content area, creating a large number of preliminary 36-item SJI test forms. Gibson and Weiner (1998) provided criteria for selecting alternate forms; however, the authors of the present study extended this approach in the next step of selecting alternate forms based on their estimated criterion-related validity with grade point average. Results provide initial support for the 144 alternate forms generated. This general approach reflects a practical and methodologically sound means of developing alternate forms of types of measures that are rationally heterogeneous yet empirically homogeneous. |
