Item Response Analysis of the Financial Capacity Instrument-Short Form.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Financial Capacity Instrument-Short Form (FCI-SF) is a performance-based measure of everyday financial skills that takes 15 min to administer. Although the FCI-SF has demonstrated excellent psychometric properties, advanced psychometric methods such as item response theory (IRT) can provide important information on the performance of individual test items in measuring financial capacity and in distinguishing between healthy and cognitively impaired individuals.

Method

Participants were 272 older adults diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 1,344 cognitively healthy controls recruited from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota and also from the Cognitive Observations in Seniors study at the University of Alabama a
