Among Ben's favorite teaching aids is the KeyMath Diagnostic Profile, designed by Richard Woodcock at an AERA Presession on the Rasch Model in Spring 1969. Here we can see its essential features. An arithmetic test of 209 items has been Rasch-calibrated in one analysis. The items are displayed in 14 content strands (rows) with each item at its own difficulty in the overall frame-of-reference (circles above the lines). The raw scores on each strand have been positioned at their ability measures (numbers beneath the lines). Raw scores on all 209 items are shown on the "TOTAL TEST" line, positioned at their ability estimates. Ben has ringed the raw scores of a child on each strand, and some of the child's scored responses. We see a profile of the child's performance across the strands, along with unexpected successes and failures.
