The study aimed to develop an economic and effective Multifunctional Sentence Completion Test. The research process involved following steps: establishing initial items through literature review, revising initial items to previous test items by discussing from focus group, establishing formal items after one-by-one and overall examining by five experts, firming up the feasibility of the test by analyzing the result. Finally, two sets of tests were established: “series of population” involved 7 versions of Sentence Completion Test, included population of elementary school, junior high school, vocational/high school, university/graduate school, adults, old people, and aboriginal; “series of theme” involved 9 versions, included theme on family accommodation, learning accommodation, career accommodation, affections accommodation, work accommodation, military accommodation, marriage accommodation, raising accommodation, and illness accommodation. Acceptability (examining item-by-item by experts) of all tests was 100%. The average number of all tests on validity was above 4.31 (5 as full marks), and on CVI was above .86 (1.00 as maximum), which mean good content validity on this test. Moreover, the result of 48 formal Sentence Completion Tests finished by 31 subjects conformed with the expectation: subjects could understand the meaning of items, and could finish test within 20 minutes independently, which showed feasibility of this test.
