In the early part of the last decade, a group of researchers at NSA developed a program called THINTHREAD that had the ability to sort through the mass of data NSA receives and pick out items requiring further attention -- all without compromising the Fourth Amendment rights of Americans.

The longer format also had the advantage of comprehensive sampling from the curriculum, increasing the number of scored items and also of permitting the pre-testing of new items (which were not scored and were not taken by all candidates) without compromising the reliability.
