Item readability and item format variables were also analyzed. The major findings were that a the items difficulty was related to their correlations with the content score and unrelated to the items correlations with the response style score b the items location in the test was generally related to their correlations with the response style score, and unrelated to the other variables and c the readability indexes were not related to the three basic item variables.
