Abstract
The benefits of dynamic testing are thought to include; (a) a reduction in strategic variance, accompanied by (b) a test score increase for “disadvantaged” subjects. Sometimes forgotten, however, is that these accomplishments are illusory unless they support a specified goal (e.g., better validity). In the present study, we examine the benefits of dynamic test administration with the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) test of general intelligence. The results indicate that, while APM scores were significantly increased by dynamic procedures, important criteria such as reliability and construct validity were not enhanced. We conclude that the choice of dynamic procedures depends on both the ability construct and the purpose of testing, and should be justified on a case-by-case basis.
