Self-Adapted Testing: A Performance-Improving Variant of Computerized Adaptive Testing.
Rocklin, Thomas; O'Donnell, Angela M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v79 n3 p315-19 Sep 1987

Participants completed a self-report of text anxiety and were randomly assigned to take one of the three tests of verbal ability. Subjects generally chose more difficult items as the test progressed.
