TI  - Computerized adaptive assessment of personality disorder: introducing the CAT-PD 
      project.

AB  - Assessment of personality disorders (PD) has been hindered by reliance on the 
      problematic categorical model embodied in the most recent Diagnostic and 
      Statistical Model of Mental Disorders (DSM), lack of consensus among alternative 
      dimensional models, and inefficient measurement methods. This article describes 
      the rationale for and early results from a multiyear study funded by the National 
      Institute of Mental Health that was designed to develop an integrative and 
      comprehensive model and efficient measure of PD trait dimensions. To accomplish 
      these goals, we are in the midst of a 5-phase project to develop and validate the 
      model and measure. The results of Phase 1 of the project--which was focused on 
      developing the PD traits to be assessed and the initial item pool--resulted in a 
      candidate list of 59 PD traits and an initial item pool of 2,589 items. Data 
      collection and structural analyses in community and patient samples will inform 
      the ultimate structure of the measure, and computerized adaptive testing will 
      permit efficient measurement of the resultant traits. The resultant Computerized 
      Adaptive Test of Personality Disorder (CAT-PD) will be well positioned as a 
      measure of the proposed DSM-5 PD traits. Implications for both applied and basic 
      personality research are discussed.
