“I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if they think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion.”

[1] -Thomas Jefferson - 1820

Introduction and Background

As Jefferson’s quote implies, a constitutional republic, such as the United States of America, requires informed, effective, and responsible citizens. Indeed, it has been said that ‘democracy is not a machine that will go of itself” and therefore requires each generation of citizens to develop, and employ, a certain level of civic knowledge in order to sustain it. Defining and developing such civic knowledge—that is, the effective preparation of citizens to fulfill their responsibilities to sustain and enhance self-government--is an essential condition for their representative government to survive.

Unfortunately, the civic literacy of Americans has been a concern for over 75 years.  For example, national surveys of college freshman in the 1940s revealed a “striking ignorance” of even the most basic civic knowledge (Fine, 1943, p. 1).”  In 2019, the Woodrow Wilson Foundation surveyed 41,000 Americans using 20 questions drawn from the USCIS Naturalization Panel.  The results “validated what studies have shown for a century: Americans don’t possess the history knowledge they need to be informed and engaged citizens…. (Wilson Foundation, n.p. 2019)”

Additional support for this trend comes from the Congressionally mandated National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).  This assessment measures American K-12 students’ progress in a number of subjects, including civics, every four years.  Results of the most exact Grade 12 NAEP-Civics assessment indicated that only 24 percent of 12 th graders scored at the ‘proficient’ level or above and that 36 percent scored below even a ‘basic’ level of civic literacy.

Civics Knowledge

In order to assess student progress, sophisticated frameworks identifying and detailing key civics concepts have been created.  For example, the most exact NAEP-Civics assessment framework was developed by a panel of more than two dozen experts in civics and civic education. [2]   These authors of the NAEP-Civics Framework determined that essential civic knowledge consisted of answers to questions such as:

  • What are civic life, politics, and government?
  • What are the foundations of the American political system?
  • How does the government established by the Constitution embody the purposes, values, and principles of American democracy?
  • What is the relationship of the United States to other nations and to world affairs?
  • What are the roles of citizens in American democracy?

The National Standards for Civics and Government—developed by the Center for Civic Education (2003) [3] — provides another key reference point for determining key civics concepts.  The authors of this framework extended their document to stress that educational institutions have a responsibility “to prepare informed, rational, humane, and participating citizens committed to the values and principles of American constitutional democracy (page v).

The Purdue Civics Test

As an educational institution, Purdue University recognizes its responsibility to prepare informed citizens who value the principles of American democracy.  The creation of a civics literacy requirement is in-line with that responsibility. The development of the Purdue Civics Knowledge Test is part of the overall literacy plan.  The purpose of the test is  to measure undergraduate students’ mastery of the basic civics concepts and principles underlying the system of government in the United States.  This includes an awareness of their rights and responsibilities, as well as the source of those rights and responsibilities.  Students should also know the structure and function of the government as described in the U.S. Constitution, and the role citizens play in the political and social life of the country.  Finally, students should be familiar with the origin and contents of significant documents and events that have shaped the United States

“Citizenship—commitment to and participation in a community’s civic life—is the engine of constitutional democracy and a free society. Knowledge of the rights, responsibilities, and privileges of citizenship fuel that engine. Without the participation of informed, effective, and responsible citizens, a democratic republic cannot and does not function, nor can it make progress toward its ideals (NAEP Governing Board, p. 1, 2014).

Although it is hoped that civics knowledge will be related to active participation in civic life, the Purdue Civics Knowledge Test is focused directly on assessing student knowledge of key civics principles, facts, and government structures.  It does not try to assess student behavior or beliefs.

Developing the Test

The development of any standardized test should follow clear, well-documented procedures consistent with professional test development practices.  The first step is establishing a clear purpose for the test.  The purpose of the Purdue Civics Knowledge Test was outlined above.  The next steps include (1) identifying eligible content, (2) establishing detailed test specifications, (3) developing items aligned to the targeted content, (4) providing for expert review of test items for content accuracy and freedom from bias, (5) field-testing items, (6) completing the psychometric analysis of field-test data, and (7) creating final test forms. [4]   The development of the Purdue Civics Knowledge Test included attention to each of these steps.

Defining Eligible Content .  The test development team referenced multiple sources to identify eligible content.  The three most significant sources were (1) the National Standards for Civics and Government produced by the Center for Civic Education (2003), (2) The National Assessment of Educational Progress Framework: Civics (2018), and
(3) test items from the Naturalization Test for United States Citizenship managed by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). [5] In addition, released items from the AP US History and AP US Government tests were also referenced.  As a result, the working group identified five broad constructs that defined eligible civic knowledge content for the test:

  • Civic life, politics and government,
  • Foundations of the American political system,
  • How the government established by the constitution embodies the purposes, values and principles of American democracy,
  • Roles of citizens in American democracy, and
  • Important individuals and events in the history of the United States  

Establishing Test Specifications .  Using these sources, and these constructs, a test blueprint was developed to define the range and balance of eligible test content within a civics knowledge test form.  The blueprint also set targets for the cognitive complexity of the final item pool and became a reference point for the development of assessment support materials including the development of study guides and practice tests. The final test blueprint identified five critical civic knowledge dimensions and the specific content standards to be assessed within each dimension.  The test blueprint is contained in List 1.

List 1. Test Blueprint

  1. Civic Life, Politics, and Government - 11%
    1. Distinguish between civic life and private life - 2%

    4. Identify the different ways the Constitution can be amended and the types and number of amendments that have been added to the Constitution. - 4%
    5. Identify how the idea of natural rights is critical to the Constitution of the United States.
    6. Identify separated and shared powers. - 4%
    7. Recognize the values and principles of American constitutional democracy - 3%
  3. How the Government Established by the Constitution Embodies the Purposes, Values, and Principles of American Democracy - 30%

    2. Identify personal, political, and economic rights of citizens - 9%
    3. Identify ways that citizens take part in civic life - 5%

    2. Identify the causes of the American Revolution - 4%
    3. Identify the causes of the Civil War - 4%

Item Development . A team of professional item writers developed well-written items clearly aligned to the targeted learning standard.  Items for the civics knowledge test were either adapted from existing sources (e.g., USCIS Naturalization test items, 12 th grade NAEP history and civics items, released civics items from large-scale state testing programs) or were new items written specifically for the Purdue Civics Knowledge Test.

Expert Review of Item Content and Bias and Sensitivity Review .  The pool of potential items was reviewed for both content accuracy and to ensure the items were free of potential bias and sensitivity issues. [6]   Items were reviewed by expert faculty, and items were edited or eliminated based on this review.  Over 175 new items passed the review process.

The Purdue University item review team included:

  • David Atkinson, Ph.D., Associate Professor, History Faculty
  • Kathryn Cramer-Brownell, Ph.D., Associate Professor, History Faculty
  • James McCann, Ph.D., Professor, Political Science Faculty
  • Christopher Munt, Ph.D., Director of Inclusive Excellence, College of Liberal Arts
  • Yvonne Pitts, Ph.D., Associate Professor, History Faculty
  • Phillip VanFossen, Ph.D., J. F. Ackerman Professor of Social Studies Education
  • Eric Waltenburg, Ph.D., Professor, Political Science Faculty
  • Peter Watkins, Ph.D. Visiting Professor, Political Science

The wordings of the test items were further subjected to a separate bias review by the Purdue University Division of Diversity and Inclusion

Simultaneous with these reviews and subsequent psychometric analysis, Purdue Libraries, under the direction of Professor Zoe Mayhook, created a resource page to provide background information for students preparing for the test.

Field-Testing the Items .  The test development team built four 50-item field test forms.  Each form included a core of 19 common items, and an additional set of 31 unique items.  This design allowed statistical analyses to place all items on a common underlying difficulty scale.  The forms were administered to samples of Purdue undergraduate students in March-April, 2021.

The test was administered through the Brightspace learning management system, with students self-pacing outside of a conventional classroom setting.

The students who took a version of the field test were recruited through a random trial of all undergraduates and two more specialized samples: undergraduates enrolled in political science courses in the Spring-21 term; and international students. In total, 355 students took part in this field test.

Psychometric Analysis of Field Test Data .  Item response data collected during the field test were used to establish the psychometric properties of the items and test forms. Each of the test items was analyzed to gauge its difficulty and functioning. The full battery of items was further assessed to confirm the high reliability of the instrument, and student performance was compared across the different forms and samples to explore the overall fairness of the test.

Establishing Final Test Forms .  The results of the psychometric analyses guided the development of three distinct, parallel, and equivalent 50-item test forms.  The evidence collected during the development process establishing the validity, reliability, and fairness of the final test forms will be summarized in a final technical manual.  

Based on the results of the field test, the decision was made to place the passing mark at 80%.

For these at-home testosterone test kits, in particular, they made sure the tests produce accurate results and the companies provide assistance after your results are delivered to you.

Testosterone is a sex hormone produced in the testicles and ovaries. Production of testosterone ramps up during puberty and begins to gradually decline in adulthood.

It’s often considered the “male” sex hormone, but people of all sexes and genders produce testosterone. People assigned male at birth (AMAB) produce more testosterone than people assigned female at birth (AFAB), though.

Your body uses testosterone for many purposes, including:

  • development and function of reproductive organs, including the penis, testicles, and ovaries
  • voice deepening during puberty
  • development of facial hair and body hair as well as the progression of balding later in life
  • development, growth, and strength of bones
  • muscle mass and body fat distribution
  • sex drive (libido)
  • production of sperm
  • production of red blood cells

Testosterone levels may also play a role in regulating your mood and supporting cognitive function, though research is still inconclusive on exactly how this works. A decrease in testosterone levels is a normal part of aging for people assigned male at birth, especially after age 30.

When your testosterone levels are too high (hypergonadism) or too low (hypogonadism), you may experience uncomfortable symptoms. A blood or saliva test can check the amount of testosterone your body is making.

In males, testosterone levels should generally fall between 300–1,000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL), or 10–35 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L).

In females, the testosterone levels produced in the ovaries are quite low, between 15–46 ng/dL.

You may need to check your testosterone levels if you’re experiencing any symptoms associated with low T, regardless of your age or sex.

Keeping an eye on your testosterone levels is important for transgender men and transmasculine people using masculinizing HRT, also known as female-to-male testosterone therapy or simply T therapy.

Before you start T therapy, a healthcare professional will need to check your base levels of the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen so you can take an appropriate dose of T to achieve the level of masculinization you want.

Current guidelines suggest getting your levels checked every 3 months for the first year that you’re on HRT and every 6–12 months afterward.

Monitoring your testosterone levels is important because taking too much testosterone can have adverse effects like metabolic problems, while doses that are too low may induce a hypogonadism-like state and could cause significant losses in bone density.

Not to mention, if your testosterone levels aren’t high enough, you may not experience the masculinization you desire or you may notice changes happening very slowly.

Remember, though, that it can take several years for the maximum effects of T therapy to develop. Plus, not everyone taking T will experience the same effects — everybody is different!

If you’re taking an at-home testosterone test, the type of collection method used to test testosterone levels may vary. Different types of collection methods may include blood samples, urine samples, or saliva samples.

Testosterone levels vary throughout the day and are highest in the morning. For this reason, your test instructions may say that you should collect samples between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

A blood test for testosterone can tell a healthcare professional how much free testosterone is circulating in your blood. It can also show the total amount of the hormone in your body.

One study from 2016 suggests that measuring free testosterone is a better way to diagnose hypogonadism accurately.

Remember that many factors can affect total testosterone levels, and high or low levels do not necessarily indicate a clinical problem.

Some factors that could lead to decreases in T levels might include:

  • your age
  • your weight
  • disorders of the testicles, pituitary gland, or brain
  • use of medications, especially anticonvulsants
  • use of tobacco, alcohol, or caffeine
  • liver disease
  • hyperthyroidism
  • type 2 diabetes
  • sleep apnea
  • chronic narcotic use, like heroin or methadone

According to 2015 research, low testosterone may affect about 10% of men over age 30, and up to 40% of men over age 70.

Low T levels may cause different symptoms depending on your age, your sex assigned at birth, and whether you’re undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as part of a gender transition.

In adults assigned male at birth (AMAB)

If you’re AMAB and you aren’t intentionally modifying your hormone levels, symptoms of low testosterone levels (hypogonadism) may include:

  • erectile dysfunction
  • lowered sex drive
  • low semen volume
  • smaller testicle size
  • anemia or low blood counts
  • decreased muscle or bone mass
  • increased body fat, especially around the breasts
  • decreased body or facial hair
  • fatigue
  • hot flashes
  • trouble concentrating, depression, or other mood or cognitive changes

Consider talking with a healthcare professional if you experience any of these symptoms and suspect that you may have low or decreased testosterone. Low T can be a normal part of aging, but drastic or rapid changes could indicate a health condition that may need treatment.

In adults assigned female at birth (AFAB)

For AFAB adults who aren’t intentionally modifying their hormone levels, research is limited to what low testosterone feels like. There also isn’t a set guideline for what constitutes low T in this population.

Some symptoms, which are largely attributed to low estrogen levels, may include:

  • fatigue or sluggishness
  • menstrual irregularities
  • vaginal dryness
  • loss of bone density
  • lowered sex drive
  • trouble sleeping
  • problems with fertility
  • unintentional weight gain

Consider talking with a healthcare professional if you experience any of these symptoms and suspect that you may have low or decreased testosterone. Again, since the research is limited on low testosterone levels for AFAB adults, the symptoms could vary from those listed above.

The onset of menopause, dysfunction of the pituitary or adrenal glands, or problems with ovarian health could be causing your hormone levels to shift, and you may need to seek treatment or support managing symptoms.

At-home testosterone tests allow you to collect your own trial and ship it back to a lab for evaluation. These test kits require you to collect either saliva or blood, and they come with everything you need to return your trial safely and securely.

Testosterone tests, in general, track the amount of free testosterone present in the trial provided. This can help supply you a better overall idea of your testosterone levels.

Blood test kits will come with a pinprick mechanism that can break the skin on your finger and allow a small amount of blood to flow.

The kit also comes with a collection vial, a biohazard/specimen bag, and a return envelope or a separate shipping label. You’ll want to collect the required amount of blood in the included vial, complete any required forms or trial labeling, and securely return your test.

Make sure to read through the instructions and take any necessary precautions to ensure that you don’t accidentally damage or taint your blood sample. This could potentially skew your results.

Saliva test kits are very similar to blood test kits in how you collect, label, and ship your sample. The advantage of a saliva test is that it doesn’t require a finger pinprick, which is good news for those who are uncomfortable with needles.

However, the effectiveness of testing saliva over blood is up for discussion. A 2013 study found that saliva test results were fairly accurate and reliable for testing testosterone levels.

However, research from 2014 found that saliva tests were less accurate than blood samples because free testosterone could bind with saliva proteins and ultimately skew the results.

If you want to test your T levels, in general, a saliva or blood test is a good option for you. But, if you or your doctor need results that are as accurate as possible, a blood test may be your best bet.

Of course, there’s no substitute for getting tests done in person at a certified lab. This can help reduce the risk of any errors in the trial collection and evaluation process.

If you decide to measure your testosterone levels with a home kit, you should be prepared to take any necessary next steps. The laboratory results should come with an explanation of your measured testosterone level.

If your level is considered average, but you still have symptoms that concern you, it’s a good idea to talk with a healthcare professional like a doctor or endocrinologist.

If your results come back as lower than average, make an appointment to see a doctor before trying any home remedies. Over-the-counter testosterone supplements aren’t approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and could carry a risk of side effects, especially if you’re taking other medications.

Plus, at-home test kits aren’t likely as accurate as in-office lab tests. A doctor may want to double-check your levels before recommending any treatment.

Not to mention, low T can sometimes be a sign of a serious underlying medical condition. It’s important to work with a professional to rule out or treat any conditions.

It’s important to choose a home testosterone kit produced by a reputable brand that delivers results on a timeline that works for you.

You might also want to think about costs, collection methods, and whether the brand connects you with healthcare professionals to go over your results. Some other qualities to look out for are:

  • Results delivery time: Some at-home testosterone kits take longer to return your results than others. If you’re experiencing uncomfortable symptoms that could be associated with low T, you may want to spring for a kit that offers faster results.
  • Collection methods: Testosterone levels can be tested by your saliva or your blood. While blood tests are considered more reliable, most people have an easier time collecting saliva samples. Be sure to think through which method you’d prefer.
  • Access to support: Some companies connect you with in-house healthcare professionals, who can help you decipher your test results and talk over next steps if your levels are out of the normal range. Ask yourself how confident you are in your ability to understand your results and determine whether this kind of support is important to you.
  • Affordability: The at-home testosterone kits on their list range from $49 to more than $200. Most insurance plans won’t cover these kits, so be sure to keep that in mind as you consider your budget.
  • Brand integrity: When submitting your trial for analysis, you’re trusting the lab with potentially sensitive health information. It’s important to choose a brand that you feel will respect your privacy. It may be a good idea to read reviews from real consumers before selecting a testosterone kit.

Testosterone levels must be checked more than once to gain a complete understanding of your levels, according to the Endocrine Society.

Make an appointment with a healthcare professional if your test results show low testosterone or if you’re experiencing symptoms of low T. They’ll probably want to check again using a more reliable method to be sure.

You may need to check your testosterone levels if you’re experiencing any symptoms associated with low T, regardless of your age or sex assigned at birth.

Keeping an eye on your testosterone levels is also important for transgender men and transmasculine people who are using hormone replacement therapy as part of their transition.

Trans folks should check their levels every 3 months for the first year that they’re on HRT and every 6–12 months afterward.

Before you rely on the results of a testosterone home test kit, you should be aware of the accuracy of salivary testing versus blood testing.

Testing saliva is easier and less invasive than drawing blood. Still, testosterone in saliva samples can be affected by how they’re collected and stored, so researchers are interested in whether this method is reliable.

The results and expert opinions are mixed.

Some studies and reviews suggest that saliva testing is preferable because it’s less stressful for the patient. A 2016 study concluded that saliva is a reliable method to determine testosterone levels.

But there has not been enough analysis of commercial home testing kits. Whether they deliver accurate, reliable, and unvarying results has not been confirmed.

Health insurance plans don’t generally cover at-home tests. Most insurers prefer that you undergo laboratory testing in a doctor’s office if you have symptoms of low T.

However, you may be able to pay using a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA). You can also check with your insurance provider to see if you’re eligible for reimbursement.

Research into at-home testosterone kits is lacking. It’s unclear how accurate they are compared with tests ordered by a doctor in a lab.

However, it’s safe to say that an in-office testosterone test will be less subject to human error. Doctors, especially endocrinologists, are trained in collecting and handling samples properly.

Plus, if you discuss the results of an at-home testosterone kit with a healthcare professional, chances are they’ll want to double-check your levels via a professional test anyway.

While at-home kits can provide a good baseline for starting a conversation with a professional, doctor-administered tests are likely more accurate.

Many factors go into choosing an at-home test, such as:

  • Would you rather avoid a finger prick?
  • Do you have a budget?
  • Are you on a time crunch?

You may also want to look at reviews to see if other people have found that certain brands provide better accuracy than others.

Also, certain brands may not be able to deliver results to certain states, so make sure you live in a state where the results of at-home kits can eventually be sent to you.

Having low testosterone levels may be a regular part of the aging process. But you may also have a condition that’s causing your levels to drop.

While at-home kits may provide some insight into your levels, the best solution is to work with a healthcare professional that you trust to get an accurate diagnosis and learn about your treatment options.
