Data From a Validation Study of Two Psychometric Models on Test-taking Behavior

This paper introduces a dataset from a validation study of two psychometric models, one on the intraindividual speed-ability relationship and the other one on persistence. It includes responses, response times, and action sequences from N = 1244 participants who completed a matrix reasoning test under two experimental conditions, one being speeded and one being non-speeded. Additionally, it includes measures on motivational disposition, current motivation, effort, and concentration. Collected online via Prolific, the data is freely available at OSF (https://osf.io/9j6hm/). This dataset may aid in the development and validation of psychometric models on response processes as well as the investigation of test-taking behavior.
