Abstract

The Computerized Adaptive Testing Program for Thai Happiness Scale was developed
based on two concepts : Item Response Theory and Computerized Adaptive Testing. This
program was designed to assess the individual level of subjective well-being while this study
was aimed to investigate the efficiency of the Computerized Adaptive Testing Program for
Thai Happiness Scale and study the relationship between the happiness theta derived from
Computerized Adaptive Testing Program for Thai Happiness Scale (THS-CAT) and all items in
bank (THS-All). The Computerized Adaptive Testing Program for Thai Happiness Scale was
created in web application format which can access anywhere and anytime via http://www.
thscat.com/Test/. The program include two options for testing: 1) THS-CAT and 2) THS-All.
The sample consisted of 30 individuals who assigned for both testing options. The data
analysis were conducted using descriptive statistic and correlation coefficient. The result
revealed that THS-CAT used less time and items comparing with THS-All. Moreover, the
happiness theta derived from both options were approximately similar.
