What's the word?
"A professionally administered assessment tools and tests used to evaluate, measure, and understand clients."
What is appraisal?
An illustration of data distrubution that resembles the shape of a bell
What is a bell curve?
Also known as an ability test, these measure the effects of general learning and are used to predict future performance.
What is Aptitude?
An instrument that looks valid.
What is face validity?
This is test-retest reliability obtained using the same instrument on both occasions.
What is Stability?
This is a type of test in which the items become progressively more difficult.
What is spiral test?
The measure a score deviates from the norm
What is Skew?
This type of test measures the effects of learning or a set of experiences.
The instrument contains items that accurately represents the concept of what it is intended to measure.
What is content validity?
Alternate forms of the same test are administered to the same group and the correlation between them is calculated.
What is equivalence?
What is validity?
Another word for standard score, which is the measure of the number of standard deviations a raw score is from the mean.
What is Z-score?
This type of test is designed to measure one's ability to think and reason, rather than their acquired knowledge.
What is intelligence test?
The type of criterion validity that shjows how well a test core can project future behaviors, performances, or outcomes.
What is predictive validity?
This measures how well items in a test correlate with each other, indicating they are all mesuring the same underlying concept.
Can be found by using Cronbach's Aplha and the Split-Half Method.
A researcher is looking for a test that will repeatedly give consistent results. What are they looking for?
What is reliability?
This value describes the variability within a distribution of scores
A type of assessment that present individuals with stimuli to evoke a response that may reveal inner facets of personality, as well as inner emotions and internal conflicts.
What is a projective test?
The results of the test are compared with other tests' results or behaviors (criteria) at or about the same time
What is concurrent validity?
A way to evaluate a survey's or test's reliability by dividing it into two halves, administering it once, and correlating the scores of the two parts
What is Split-Half Method?
A type of assessment used to document the behavior of clients or research subjects.
What is behavioral observation?
The conversion of scores on a test to a standardized scale with a mean of 50 and a standard deviuation of 10.
What is T-score?
A type of assessment that evaluates one's preferences for various activities, behaviors, or occupations.
What is an interest test?
The degree to which a test accurately assesses the abstract, theoretical concept it's supposed to measure. Hint: There are two types of this validity.
What is construct validity?
A statistical measure of a test or scale's internal consistency, indicating how well a set of items measures the same underlying concept. It's reliability coefficient typically ranges from 0 to 1.
What is Chronbach's Alpha?
