Item-Response Theory

Alva's psychometric assessments are founded on Item Response Theory (IRT), which is the modern, more advanced alternative to Classical Test Theory and is known for its precision and efficiency. Alva goes beyond by using advanced IRT models, backed by Bayesian statistics and advanced machine learning, which ensures ongoing enhancement and unmatched measurement accuracy.

Take advantage of IRT's benefits such as adaptive testing, item banking, and increased precision with fewer questions, to gain insights into personality dimensions and traits.
