Measurement invariance tests conducted with multigroup confirmatory factor analysis versions a cognitive ability-type assessment, two biodata assessments, multimedia work simulation, text-based situational judgment test appear to be equivalent versions. However, device user latent means were half standard deviation lower than their counterparts for test. Implications within assessment discussed.
