Q

A researcher working with a personality test discovers that the test has a reliability coefficient of 0.70. This indicates that

A

70% of the score is accurate while 30% is inaccurate

18
Q

20
Q

____ did research and concluded that intelligence was normally distributed like height and weight and that is was primarily genetic.

A

21

22
Q

A

Thoughts on convergent and divergent thinking

23
Q

A counselor is told by his supervisor to measure the internal consistency reliability of a test but not to divide the test in halves. The counselor would need to utilize

A

the Kuder-Richardson coefficients of equivalence

24
Q

The first intelligence test was created by

A

Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon

25
Today, the Stanford-Binet IQ test is
a standardized measure
26
Why is Stanford-Binet standardized?
The scoring and administration procedures are formal and well delineated.
27
IQ is expressed by
MA/CA x 100
28
The 9 years old task would be
50% of the 9 year olds could answer correctly
29
Simon and Binet pioneered the first IQ test around 1905. The test was created to
discriminate normal from retarded Parisian children
30
Today the Stanford-Binet is used from age 2-adulthood. The IQ formula has been replaced by the
SAS
31
What is the SAS
Standard age score
