Abstract
Several theoretical and empirical issues that must
be addressed before appropriateness measurement
can be used by practitioners are investigated in this
paper. These issues include selection of a latent
trait model for multiple-choice tests, selection of a
particular appropriateness index, and the sample
size required for parameter estimation. The threeparameter
logistic model is found to provide better
detection of simulated spuriously low examinees
than the Rasch model for the Graduate Record Examination,
Verbal Section. All three appropriateness
indices proposed by Levine and Rubin (1979)
provide good detection of simulated spuriously low
examinees but poor detection of simulated spuriously
high examinees. A reason for this discrepancy
is provided.
