The study explored and confirmed the standardized spatial ability test developed by the College Entrance Examination Center (CEEC) to understand the test’s item quality and factor structure. The norming sample consisted of 183810th graders from Taiwan public and private high schools, and was randomly divided into calibration (exploration) sample and validation sample in the study. Item analysis. Research results showed that the suggested version of the spatial ability test can improve test reliability and validity with fewer test items, and the measurement model fits well. The model exploration and validation steps implemented in the study can provide a referential procedure for future similar test constructions for the purpose of model reduction.
