This paper discusses three key issues in modern test theory: multidimensionality, multi-level modeling, and enhancing uses at the individual level. The author explores topics such as estimating scores, multidimensional computerized adaptive testing, patient/provider nesting, meaning of theta, clinician care, regulators' role, responders, individual standard errors, confidence intervals, and person fit.

Three Issues in Modern Test Theory for the Next 10 Years Ron D. Hayshttp://twitter.com/rondhays ISOQOL, London, England, October 30, 2010, 15:30 – 17:15 pm
Issue #1 Multidimensionality - Estimating scores - Multidimensional CAT
Issue #2 Multi-level modeling - Patient nested within provider (plan)
Issue #3: Enhancing uses at individual level * Meaning of theta - Clinician care - Regulators (e.g., FDA) * “Responder” - Individual standard errors - Confidence intervals - Responder (significance of change) * Person fit
