This is a diagnostic test developed by the Collaboration for Astronomy Education Research (CAER) for astronomy teachers teaching non-science majors at the introductory level. The first twenty one questions are content based and the last twelve collect demographic information. The ADT is generally used as a pre-/post-test. The questions target astronomy content generally taught in the K-12 curriculum. Its purpose is to diagnose the effectiveness of instruction, not the learning capabilities of the students.
Topics covered include: celestial motion, seasons, moon phases, constellations, and the night sky.
