2019 IQ BP5

In the context of psychometric testing, content validity is defined as

• the extent to which the test actually measures what it is purported to measure.

• the degree to which there is a correlation between results on the test and future performance on another measure

• the degree to which the test will yield similar results across administrations

• the extent to which scores on two versions of the test are highly correlated

• the degree to which scores on two sections of the same test are consistent with each other

Which of the following is an example of a projection test?

• the stanford binet intelligence scale

• the thematic apperception test (TAT)

• The minnesota Multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI)

• the strong vocational interest blank

• the f scale

On a normal score distribution an IQ score of 85 would be located

• approximately one standard deviation above the mean

• approximately one standard deviation below the mean

• approximately two standard deviation avoe the mean

• approximately two standard deviations below the mean

• in a variable position it would depend on the age of the respondent

The standardization is accomplished by

• administering the test to a sample chosen to reflect the characteristics of the population in question

• administering different parts of the test to different samples meant to reflect different population

• correlating the results on the test with results on other tests that claim to measure the same dimension

• equilibrating the number of times each answer choice appears.

Which of the following is NOT a dimension of intelligence in Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligence?

• environmental

• mathematical

• spatial

• musical

• emotional

reliability measures

• how consistently the test holds up over time.

• how well the test measures what it means to test.

• a way in which you can be sure that an experiment tests only one variable at a time.

• how consistently an individual will score on the same test on subsequent occasions.

• to what the finds of a study can be generalized to the whole population

a multiple choice or true/false questions test is an example of a/an

• projective test

• inventory type test

• intelligence test

• hereditary test

• environment test
