Q

Projective Test

A

Rorschach test or picture/story telling test, gives the interpreter a better

understanding of the test taker’s attributes or thought processes, free association (when I say

____ what do you think of), completion (finish a sentence), and construction (picture drawing)

Q

Ipsative

A

Compares traits in an individual, compares the test takers scores to their own standard of behavior (how does the test taker’s level of achievement compare to the test taker’s level of motivation)

Q

Validity

A

Number one factor in test construction, does the test measure what it is supposed to measure? A VALID TEST IS ALWAYS RELIABLE

Q

Construct Validity

A

Does the test measure a theoretical construct (achievement, interest, etc.) traits that you cannot observe?

21
Q

Concurrent Validity

A

Does this test compare to other tests that measure the same thing?

22
Q

Predictive/Empirical Validity

A

Does the test predict future behavior?

23
Q

Consequential Validity

A

Does using the test have social implications?

24
Q

Face Validity

A

Does the test look like it measures the intended attribute or trait

25
Q

Convergent Validity

A

Used to establish construct/criterion validity by comparing test scores to an outside source (like a different test that measures the same thing)

26
Q

Discriminant Validity

A

The test should not measure unrelated variables (if you are using a test for stress it should not also measure IQ)

27
Q

Reliability

A

Second most important factor in test construction, do the measurements remain consistent over repeated tests? If you give someone the same test again and hold all things constant, will they get the same score? A reliability coefficient of 1.00 is perfect. A TEST CAN BE RELIABLE AND NOT VALID

28
Q

Equivalent/Alternate Forms Reliability

A

One group of test takers take multiple forms of the same test

29
Q

Test-Retest Reliability

A

One group of test takers take the same test at least twice

30
Q

Split-Half Method

A

One test is split in half and each half is given to test takers (test takers do not take both halves of the test)

31
Q

Interrater/Interobserver Reliability

A

Used with non-forced choice tests, multiple raters give the same score to the same test

32
Q

Internal Consistency Reliability

A

Does each item measure the same thing as every other item? Can be established using the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence if you don’t want to split the test in half

33
Q

Coefficient of Determination

A

This is correlation squared, If the correlation between the first administration and the second administration is .5 then the coefficient of determination is .25 which means the true variance (or shared variance between both) is 25%

34
Q

IQ

A

Intelligence quotient, formula is mental age/chronological age X 100, found to be normally distributed by Francis Galton, first IQ test created by Binet and Simon,

35
Q

Stanford-Binet IQ test

A

A standardized measure, used from 2-adulthood, uses the standard age score instead of the IQ formula, mean of 100 and standard deviation of 16

36
Q

Wechsler Adult IQ Test (WAIS-III)

A

Uses 7 verbal scales and 7 performance scales, for adults, mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15

37
Q

WPPSI-III

A

Used for ages 2 years 6 months to 7 years 3 months

38
Q

WISC-IV

A

Used for kids 6-16 years 11 months

39
Q

J.P. Guilford

A

Discovered 120 factors that make up intellegence

40
Q

BITCH Test

A

Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homogeneity, created by Robert Williams inresponse to an article written by Arthur Jenson that accused IQ tests of scientific racism

41
Q

MMPI-2

A

Standardized Personality Test

42
Q

Psychometric

A

Any type of mental testing

43
Q

16 PF

A

Developed by Raymond Cattell, measures personality

44
Q

MBTI

A

Developed by Carl Jung

45
Q

Mental Measurements Yearbook

A

Explaination of psychometric tests first compiled by Buros

46
Q

Aptitude

A

A Person’s potential, natural ability to do something

47
Q

Acheivement

A

What has been learned or mastered

48
Q

Standard Error of Measurement

A

How accurate a test score is (SEM of 5 and a score of 126 means the person’s true score range is 121 – 131)
