Abstract	This study empirically evaluates the relationships between rationally and empirically estimated item indices used in the development of a test of land navigation knowledge for the US Marine Corps. Three land navigation instructors provided ratings on three item indices (item content validity ratios [CVRs], difficulty, and discrimination). These ratings were correlated with empirically derived item indices (difficulty, discrimination, and item-criterion correlations) obtained from the scores of 359 Marines on measures of land navigation knowledge, skill, and performance. Contrary to previous research, item CVRs were significantly correlated with all three empirically determined item indices. The increased effectiveness of rational item indices obtained in the present study over those from previous research appears to be related to the following areas: qualifications of expert raters, match of raters to the rating task, and the nature of the rating task. The implications for content-oriented test design and for judgmental test validation strategies are discussed.
