Development and evaluation of non-curriculum-based ability test 107 Development and evaluation of non-curriculum-based ability test for medical course admissions from university graduates ITO Kei HAYASHI Atsuhiro SHIINA Kumiko OSAWA Koichi ISHII Hidetoki YANAI Haruo TAGURI Masaaki IWATSUBO Shuichi AKANE Atsushi ASO Takeshi IWAHORI Jun-ichiro UCHIDA Chiyoko KAWASAKI Masaru SAITO Nobuhiko TAKEDA Ryuji Abstract A non-curriculum-based ability test for medical course admissions was developed to measure the abilities required for medical courses. To evaluate the items developed in our test, we conducted a trial test and distributed questionnaires to 753 volunteers comprised of third and fourth year university students from the faculties of liberal arts, science, and medicine. The test consists of two parts. The first part (Part-1) measures logical thinking and information apprehension abilities. The second part (Part-2) measures communicative competence, reading comprehension ability, and related abilities. Analysis of the test data showed that the test was designed with the appropriate level of difficulty. In addition, it was shown that Part-1 and Part-2 were not highly correlated; thus, we concluded that these two parts measured different abilities.

108 No.35, 2006 Factor analysis of the 47 items included in the questionnaire yielded six factors reflecting different aspects of abilities. Three of the six factors significantly correlated with Part-1 and Part-2. These results imply that the test items in both parts measure the intended abilities, such as logical thinking abilities, reading comprehension and related abilities, except for communicative competence. Key words: non-curriculum-based ability test, logical thinking ability, communicative competence
