Examines construct validity in game-based assessments of conscientiousness, suggesting design impacts responses.

The aim is to evaluate the construct validity of a game-based assessment measuring Conscientiousness.
Participants completed a game-based assessment (GBA) and engaged in cognitive interviews.
Cognitive interviewing was guided by Collins’ framework to analyze gameplay tasks related to Conscientiousness.
Item Response Theory was applied to evaluate item fit and discrimination across game stages.
Early game stages (1-2) showed strong alignment with clear instructions and goals.
Later stages (3-6) had weaker psychometric performance and caused player confusion.
Results emphasize the importance of balancing psychometric rigor with game design simplicity.

Fadillah et al. (2026) studied this question.
