It refers to the extent to which the the test serves its purpose of the efficiency with which it measures what it intends to measure.

• Validity

• Reliability

• Utility

• Usability

It relates more to what a test appears to measure to the person being tested than to what the test actually measures.

• Face Validity

• Content Validity

• Criterion-Related Validity

• Construct Validity

It is a measure of validity based on an evaluation of the subjects, topics, or content covered by the items in the test.

• Face Validity

• Content Validity

• Criterion-Related Validity

• Construct Validity

It is a measure of validity obtained by evaluating the relationship of scores obtained on the test to scores on other tests or measures.

• Face Validity

• Content Validity

• Criterion-Related Validity

• Construct Validity

It refers to the accuracy or consistency of the measurement of scores.

• Validity

• Reliability

• Usability

• Utility

All of the following statements are true except

• Concurrent validity occurs if test scores are obtained at about the same time as the criterion measures are obtained.

• Predictive validity occurs if the test scores obtained use to predict some future behavior of the examinee.

• Criterion-related validity occurs when you compare the scores of the new test developed in other test.

• None of the above

______________________ if constructs are related and if correlated with each other while _________________________ if constructs are unrelated and different.

• Convergent; Divergent validity

• Divergent; Convergent validity

• Concurrent; Predictive validity

Which of the following statement is true about test-retest reliability?

• Same test will be administered to different sample and time.

• Same test will be administered to same sample and time.

• Different test will be administered to different sample and time.

• Same test will be administered to same sample in different time.

All of the following statements are true about split-half reliability except

• It is also known as Internal Consistency reliability.

• It indicates the heterogeneity of the test.

• The test will be divided into two equal or nearly halves.

• Odd-even method is commonly used.

Which of the following statement is NOT true?

• When the group of examinees being tested is heterogeneous in ability, the reliability of the test scores is likely to be lowered.

• Guessing in a test is an important source of unreliability.

• Testing environment such as the light, sound, and other comforts should be equal and uniform to all the examinees.

• In two alternative response options there is a 50 % chance of answering the items correctly on the basis of the guess.
