	abstract = {This is a validation study of a computerized adaptive (CAT) version of the Schedule for Nonadaptive and
Adaptive Personality (SNAP) conducted with 413 undergraduates who completed the SNAP twice, 1
week apart. Participants were assigned randomly to 1 of 4 retest groups: (a) paper-and-pencil (P\&P)
SNAP, (b) CAT, (c) P\&P/CAT, and (d) CAT/P\&P. With number of items held constant, computerized
administration had little effect on descriptive statistics, rank ordering of scores, reliability, and concurrent
validity, but was preferred over P\&P administration by most participants. CAT administration yielded
somewhat lower precision and validity than P\&P administration, but required 36\% to 37\% fewer items
and 58\% to 60\% less time to complete. These results confirm not only key findings from previous CAT
simulation studies of personality measures but extend them for the 1st time to a live assessment setting.},
