  1. Abbreviations: T1/2 testlet, or super-item 1/2, Cond. conditional, df degrees of freedom, PSI person separation index, Alpha Cronbach’s alpha, SD standard deviation, CI confidence interval, LCI lower bound of the 95% CI
  2. aConditional Chi-Square: only applicable for the super-item solution; for the item-based solution, the Chi Square is shown
  3. bChi-Square of T1: 3392 (4), p = 0,494; Chi-Square of T2: 1054 (4), p = 0,901. Perfect values are > 0.004* (Bonferroni adjusted)
  4. cThe PSI indicates the reliability and differentiation of strata
  5. dBased on independent t-tests to compare person residuals which are positively and negatively loading on the first principal component
  6. *Bonferroni adjusted and variable with number of items
