1. A method of non-sampling process for producing perfect-content-validity tests by:
- Step 1;
Establishing a comprehensive list of all nanoskills—
fragments of human behavior, experience and knowledge—
which exist in the entire subject matter area to be tested,Step 2;
Arranging all nanoskills from Step 1 in a bona fide developmental sequence,Step 3;
Preparing a sequence of preliminary test items each of which requires the application of a corresponding nanoskill in the sequence established in Step 2 to arrive at a correct answer,Step 4;
Labeling the first preliminary test item in the sequence with “
N” and
checking the second item whether it requires the application of the nanoskill demanded in the first item;
A. If yes, labeling this item with “
Y”
orB. If no, labeling this item with “
N”
,Step 5;
Checking whether the third preliminary test item requires the applications of the nanoskills demanded in the previous two items;
A. If yes, labeling this item with “
Y”
orB. If no, labeling this item with “
N”
,Step 6;
Checking the labels assigned to the second and the third items in the sequence;
A. If “

NN”
or “
NY”
, going to Step 7, orB. If “

, earmarking the Y-label item with “

before going to Step 7,Step 7;
Checking whether the next preliminary test item along the sequence requires the application of the nanoskill demanded in the previous item;
A. If yes, labeling this item with “
Y”
orB. If no, labeling this item with “
N”
,Step 8;
Checking the two labels most recently assigned;
A. If “

which belong to the last two items in the sequence,earmarking “

by the last Y-label item and going to Step 9,B. If “

C”
by these two items and by other N-label items preceding these two up to the last Y-label item, if any, and going to Step 9,C. If “

by each of these two items and going to Step 9,D. If “

Abstract
This invention is a non-sampling process for producing tests with perfect content validity. The process begins with a complete listing of every nanoskill [the tiniest fragment of human behavior, experience, and knowledge] which exists in the entire body of subject matter to be tested. Next is to arrange these nanoskills in developmental sequence. Then, for each nanoskill, prepare a preliminary test item which requires the application of this nanoskill to arrive at a correct answer. Next is to check whether each preliminary test item requires the application of the nanoskill(s) demanded in the previous item. If yes, discard the previous item, move to next preliminary test item, and check for inclusion of nanoskill in the same manner. If no, keep both items, move to next item, and check for inclusion of nanoskill in the same manner. The remaining preliminary test items constitute the test items of the desired test.
