Entrepreneurial behavior is of great importance nowadays owing to its significance in the generation of economic, social, personal, and cultural wellbeing. This behavior is influenced by cognitive and personality characteristics, as well as by socioeconomic and contextual factors. Entrepreneurial personality is made up of a set of psychological traits including self-efficacy, autonomy, innovation, internal locus of control, achievement motivation, optimism, stress tolerance, and risk-taking. The aim of this research is the development of a computerized adaptive test (CAT) to evaluate entrepreneurial personality. A bank of 120 items was created evaluating various aspects of the entrepreneurial personality. The items were calibrated with the Samejima Graded Response Model using a sample of 1170 participants (Mage = 42.34; SDage = 12.96). The bank of items had an essentially unidimensional fit to the model. The CAT exhibited high accuracy for evaluating a wide range of θ scores, using a mean of 16 items with a very low standard error (M = 0.157). Relative validity evidence for the CAT was obtained with two additional tests of entrepreneurial personality (the Battery for the Assessment of the Enterprising Personality and the Measure of Enterpreneurial Tendencies and Abilities), with correlations of .908 and .657, respectively. The CAT developed has appropriate psychometric properties for the evaluation of entrepreneurial people.

开发一种计算机化的适应性测验，以评估企业家的人格。

如今，企业家行为因其在产生经济，社会，个人和文化福祉中的重要性而变得极为重要。这种行为受认知和人格特征以及社会经济和背景因素的影响。企业家人格由一系列心理特征组成，包括自我效能感，自主权，创新，内部控制源，成就动机，乐观，压力承受能力和冒险精神。这项研究的目的是开发一种计算机化的自适应测试（CAT）来评估企业家的人格。创建了一个包含120个项目的银行，以评估企业家人格的各个方面。使用Samejima分级响应模型，使用1170名参与者的样本（Mage = 42.34； SDage = 12.96）对项目进行校准。项目库对模型具有本质上的一维拟合。该CAT使用16个项目的平均值进行评估，具有很高的准确性，可用于评估各种θ分数，并且标准误差非常低（M = 0.157）。CAT的相对有效性证据是通过另外两项企业家人格测验（用于评估进取人格的电池和衡量企业神经倾向和能力的方法）获得的，相关性分别为.908和.657。开发的CAT具有适当的心理测量属性，可用于评估企业家。CAT的相对有效性证据是通过另外两项企业家人格测验（用于评估进取人格的电池和衡量企业神经倾向和能力的方法）获得的，相关性分别为.908和.657。开发的CAT具有适当的心理测量属性，可用于评估企业家。CAT的相对有效性证据是通过另外两项企业家人格测验（用于评估进取人格的电池和衡量企业神经倾向和能力的方法）获得的，相关性分别为.908和.657。开发的CAT具有适当的心理测量属性，可用于评估企业家。
