Tatsuoka suggested several extended caution indices and their standardized versions, and these have been used as person‐fit statistics by various researchers. However, these indices are only defined for tests with dichotomous items. This paper extends two of the popular standardized extended caution indices for use with polytomous items and mixed‐format tests. Two additional new person‐fit statistics are obtained by applying the asymptotic standardization of person‐fit statistics for mixed‐format tests. Detailed simulations are then performed to compute the Type I error rate and power of the four new person‐fit statistics. Two real data illustrations follow. The new person‐fit statistics appear to be satisfactory tools for assessing person fit for polytomous items and mixed‐format tests.
