  1. The presentation sequence of the four scenarios (and accompanying item suites that comprise the GeDI) was rotated among four equivalent test forms using to a Latin square design. A Latin square is an array of n rows and n columns, with each row and each column containing units 1 through n exactly once. By rotating experimental treatments in this manner, the researcher can generate data to determine whether an adjacent treatment (or, in this case, item suite placement) influences overall performance.
