Frequently Asked Questions
Any type of selective response item can be a SmartItem. A SmartItem is not an item type, but rather an item treatment that allows for randomization of content within the item.
An SME (Subject Matter Expert) builds a template that includes all of the data, and also “instructions” for how the item should render when it is shown to a candidate. When the test is administered, the algorithmic rules created by the SME utilize random selection based on the available variables to populate content unique to that candidate.
The key differentiator is that AIG produces a large number of static items while a SmartItem renders differently to each test taker on the fly. You can learn more about their differences in this article.
