Interesting Shirley about the adaptive test. That makes sense.+1 to Kent. While I'm
no educator, merely a server wrestler, but my gut says this particular test does not
reward troublemakers. I definitely do not fit in. Tests give me anxiety regardless
of how easy or insipid it is.It was a full time job at Rochester University. IAM

never taken an adaptive test, it's acomputer-administered multiple choice test that
gets a good idea of yourknowledge of a field with far fewer questions than a standard
multiplechoice test. Basically, you get progressively more difficult questionsuntil
you miss one, then a series of questions that are somewhere near thesame level as the
one you missed to more accurately determine your level.I can see how the approach is
efficient. But is seems it is so concentrated, there is little redundancy, that any,
say, dyslexic noise in the system could drop a score a lot.Google does an early stage
job interview that seems to be on the same model.-kb, the Kent who didn't get the job
and knows how to hold a grudge._______________________________________________Discuss
