A cross-cultural analysis of the fairness of the Cattell Culture Fair Intelligence Test using the Rasch model.

The Rasch model was used to identify items in the Cattell Culture Fair Intelligence Test that did not conform to this model for a group of Nigerian high school students and for a group of American students, groups believed to be different with respect to race, culture, and type of schooling. For both groups a factor analysis yielded a single factor accounting for 90% of the test’s variance. Although all items conformed to the Rasch model for both groups, 13 of the 46 items had significant between score group fit in either the American or the Nigerian sample or both. These were removed from further analyses. Bias was defined as a difference in the estimation of item difficulties. There were six items biased in "favor" of the American group and five in "favor" of the Nigerian group; the remaining 22 items were not identified as biased. The American group appeared to perform better on classification of geometric forms, while the Nigerians did better on progressive matrices. It was suggested that the replicability of these findings be tested, especially across other types of stimuli.enArticle
