| Sumario: | This work analyses the convenience of adaptive-ly administering the neuroticism items belonging to the Argentine adaptation of the Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The study included 594 people from the general population. Seventy percent of the cases were used to calibrate items according to the two-parameter logistic model. The rest of the cases were used to analyse evidence of validity and reliability of the computerized adaptive test using a mix stopping criterion (estimation error ≤ .4 or ad-ministration of 9 items). Results showed that 48.9% of the participants reached an ≤ .4 error after the administration of 6 items and that 69.1% required 9 items or less. The cor-relation between the level estimated with the full test and the adaptive version was of .98. The association with exter-nal criteria did not vary substantially either. The discussion addresses the advantages and limitations that stem from the lack of items which are discriminative at low-trait levels. |
