Abstract
New measures of test information, termed global information, quantify test information relative to the entire range of the trait being assessed. Estimating global information relative to a non-informative prior distribution results in a measure of how much information could be gained by administering the test to an unspecified examinee. Currently, such measures have been developed only for unidimensional tests. This study introduces measures of multidimensional global test information and validates them in simulated data. Then, the utility of global test information is tested in neuropsychological data collected as part of Rush University’s Memory and Aging Project. These measures allow for direct comparison of complex tests calibrated in different samples, facilitating test development and selection.
