- Abstract
As assessments move from traditional paper-pencil administration to computer-based administration, many testing programs are incorporating alternative item types (AITs) into assessments with the goals of measuring higher-order thinking, offering insight into problem-solving, and representing authentic real-world tasks. This paper explores multiple applications of AIT items and the psychometric properties of these items, including item response time, difficulty, itemtotal score correlations, and distractor analyses. The appropriate use of these items is also discussed in the context of professional credentialing exams.
