PRACTICE TEST 2 (Advance Psych Assessment) Flashcards
Which of the following statements accurately distinguishes the difference of Assessment from testing?
A. Assessment yields a test score or a series of test score while testing presents data to answer a referral
question.
B. The assessor is not the key to the process whereas the tester is key in selecting evaluation tools
C. Assessment may be individual or group in nature whereas the testing is highly individualized
D. Assessment aims to answer a referfal question whereas testing aims to obtain gauge of a person/persons
ability or attribute
E. Testing requires educated selection of tools whereas assessment is more technician-like in terms of scoring and interpreting the result.
D.
Ollie, a professor in statistics, wants to know how effective his Prelim test is. He graphed the scores and found
that it is positively skewed. This means that the statistics test administered to the class by Ollie is
Not discriminating between the high scoring and low scoring students
B. Very easy
C. Invalid
D. Needs a lot of improvement
E. Difficult
E.
When Ollie computed the reliability of the test he administered, the internal reliability was low. What is the
best explanation for the scores?
A. Item stability
B. Form stability
C. Counterbalancing
D. Temporal stability
E. Item homogeneity
E.
You administered a cognitive ability test among two groups of people: the first group are employees working in
the Admin Department while the second group are the security guards in the office. The scores were correlated,
and unsurprisingly the first group has higher scores as compared to the second group. This is an example of
A.
Criterion validity
B. Construct validity
C.
Content validity
D.
Known-group validity
E
Validity generalization
D.
To determine if the new non-verbal test that was purchased is good, Charlie decided to administer the new
test, RPM and BDI and found out that the new test correlated highly with RPM but not with BDI. Charlie was
determining the
of the test.
A. Validity generalization
BConstruct validity
C.Criterion Validity
D. Alternate forms reliability
E. Internal reliability
B.
Which of the following statements is the least accurate?
A. The simplest measure of variability is variance
B. KR20 is used for binary data where as Cronbach’s is used for scaling date
C. Multiple regression involves 2 or more dependent variable and 1 independent variable
A.
Melissa developed an intelligence test for her dissertation. After pilot testing, she found out that her test has a
sufficient amount of discriminability. What does it mean?
A. It helps Melissa in identifying who got the correct items in a test
C.
B.It helps Melissa in classifying who scored on the difficult items
It means that Melissas test can discriminate the top scorers and low scorers of the test
D. It helps Melissa in separating those that are high and low scorers of the test
E. It means the slope of the graph is not steep
C.
If Melissas test has homogenous items, it will yield______correlations.
A.More; low
B. Less; high
C. Less; Low
D.More; High
E.Enough; High
D.
If Melissa’s sample in the pilot testing found the test too easy, it means that
A. No test takers are choosing the distractors
B. There is low internal validity
C. Item difficulty index is negative
D. A test is invalid
E. A test is not reliable,
A.
If a test has a reliability coefficient of 80% it means that
A. 20% is the true variance
B. 20% of the variance of the test is invalid
C. 20% of the variance of the test is an error
D. 20% of the variance of the test is valid
E. The test taker outperformed 80% of those who took the same test
C.
Which of the following statements about the type of standard error is correct?
A. Standard error of difference measures sampling error
B. Standard error of the mean is the degree of error involved in predicting the value of one variable from
another
C. Standard error estimate how large is the difference between two scores before being considered ase
statistically significant
D. Standard error of measurement is used to estimate the deviation of observed score and true score
E. Standard error of values measure the error in variance of test scores
D.
Which among the following examples is a criterion-referenced assessment?
A. Drivers need to take a road test and must demonstrate their skills to drive before getting a license
B. A student needs to get the highest score in English so that she will be awarded Best in English
C. A soccer team needs to win at least three games to qualify for the regionals
D. An employee needs to sell 2 condo units in a month to get a raise
E. Teachers decide which sections to put students based on their scores
A.
The clinic where you work was tapped by an NGO to administer tests to children in an Aeta community in
Bataan. What should be avoided when considering assessment tools based on the testtaker’s profile?
A. Be knowledgeable of the cultural norms the test is based
B.
Assume that the tests has been translated to another language and is equivalent to the original test
C. Consult members in the community on the appropriateness of the tools used
D. Score, interpret and analyze data based on its cultural context
E. Be aware of alternative tests or procedures that will achieve the objectives of testing
B.
Which of the following isf0 a porentialsource of error variance.
A. A poorly ventilated room on the day of the testing
B. An intimidating and strict examiner
C. A lenient supervisor rating his employees
D. The population in the sample are equally smart
E. Incorrect scores of the participants
E.
Which of the following statements is Incorrect when assuming a high reliability of test scores?
A. Longer test
B. Appropriate for speed tests
C. Homogenous items
D. Consistency
E. New items must be equivalent in content and difficulty
B.
