Validity in Measurement Instruments Quiz

What question does validity address in measuring instruments?

• Is the test reliable?

• Is the test valid?

• Is it really what we think it is?

• Is the test easy to administer?

What are the three types of validity to consider when making measurements?

• Content, Criterion-related, Construct

• Reliability, Validity, Accuracy

• Internal, External, Construct

• Predictive, Concurrent, Content

What is content validity?

• The extent to which a test measures the intended content area

• The reliability of a test over time

• The ability of a test to predict future outcomes

• The consistency of test results

How is content validity determined?

• By statistical analysis

• By expert judgment

• By test-retest method

• By correlation coefficients

What does item validity assess?

• The reliability of test items

• The relevance of each test item to the intended content area

• The difficulty level of test items

• The length of test items

What is an example of a violation of content validity?

• Including irrelevant test items

• Using outdated test materials

• Administering the test in a noisy environment

• Scoring the test incorrectly

What is the result if a test only has questions about one of the measures of central tendency?

• The test has sampling validity

• The test does not have sampling validity

• The test is too comprehensive

• The test is too simple

What is criterion-related validity?

• The extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure

• The extent to which a test predicts future performance or correlates with other measures

• The degree to which test scores are consistent over time

• The ability of a test to measure a specific construct

What is predictive validity?

• The extent to which a test measures a specific construct

• The degree to which test scores are consistent over time

• The extent to which a test can predict future performance

• The ability of a test to measure what it claims to measure

How is predictive validity determined?

• By examining the test's content coverage

• By establishing relationships between test scores and future success measures

• By measuring the consistency of test scores over time

• By evaluating the test's face validity
