Tests & Measures: Test Construction

See "Guidelines" tab. These guidelines suggest the competencies (knowledge, skills, abilities and other personal characteristics) needed by test users. "In the complete document, these competencies are specified in terms of assessable performance criteria. These criteria provide the basis for developing specifications of the evidence of competence that would be expected from someone seeking qualification as a test user."

A collaboration of the American Educational Research Association, the American Psychological Association, and the National Council on Measurement in Education, the American Counseling Association, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the National Association of School Psychologists, and the National Association of Test Directors, the JCTP provides "a means by which professional organizations and test publishers can work together to improve the use of tests in assessment and appraisal." This portal provides guidelines and documentation from their efforts.
