A Multidimensional Approach to Scoring Situational Judgment Tests

In an effort to improve the predictive validity of a situational judgment test (SJT), this research explores SJT factor structure using multidimensional item response theory (MIRT). We found that using MIRT approaches to scoring SJTs increased the predictive validity of the SJT and that the SJT derived scores accounted for more variance explained than either personality or...
