1. Describe an example of test-retest reliability. Test-retest reliability is conducting the same test with the same respondents at different moments of time. For example, a group of participants is given a personality test and then are given the same is tested at a later time, maybe a month or year later (Kline, 2005). 2. If the correlation between test scores at Time 1 and Time 2 is 0.85, how would this be interpreted? The correlation between Time 1 and Time 2 is 0.85 and is significant (0.000);
The Name of the Test The Children’s Apperception Test (CAT), according to Albert I. Rabin (1995) “was first published in 1949, and the manual reviewed was the eighth revised edition.” The test was revised in 1991. The Children’s Apperception Test is an extension from the TAT, which is for adults, using pictures of humans rather than animals. There is a CAT-H that uses human pictures, which was created after a controversy about whether animal or human pictures were best. There is also a CAT-S supplement

outcome for a specific study. In other words, if a person takes the same anxiety test on several different occasions and the results are consistent, the anxiety test is deemed reliable. Researchers use four different methods to test reliability: test-retest reliability, alternate-forms reliability, interrater reliability, and homogeneity or internal consistency reliability (Grove, Gray, & Burns, 2015, p. 289). Test-retest reliability involves administering a tool “to the same person or a group of people
Introduction Goggle uses software to search for the most success in it’s business. It uses data to develop better managers. They found results from a managers performance, nominations and awards. These files helped Goggle figure out who were more successful to the organization. It also have effectiveness of a performance management system. The software Goggle uses helps find the most successful managers to have a successful organization. Review/Analysis of the Case There are five criteria for
Known groups validity is when the validity of a measurement is determined by the degree to which the instrument can detect different scores between the groups. This test is used when the groups are already known to vary on the variables being tested and determines how sensitive the instruments detection of difference is. Example: Known groups validity may be used to validate an instrument that is created to measure
Megan M. Brown Professor Karmia Adler University Reliability and validity are two concepts that go hand in hand when creating a job analysis. Without one concept, the other may not exist. These terms are used when analyzing results of tests that new employees have taken. Validity and reliability allow for more accuracy within the workplace. Reliability is referring to freedom from unsystematic errors of measurement (Cascio & Aguinis, 2011). Reliability is concerned with the degree of

with a declined gait speed (Graham, Ostic, Fisher, & Ottenbacher, 2008). There is considerable variation in gait speed testing procedures including pace, protocol and distance however, all versions of these short, distance-based walk tests have high (>0.90) test-retest and inter-rater reliabilities (Graham et al., 2008). Kim, Park, Lee, and Lee (2016) reported that the validity of gait speed with normal pace was higher compared with maximal pace against physical function. Lower extremity function is
Should we drug test all of our athletes to ensure they are making the right choices and setting a good example for younger athletes? Some may say that drug testing students is unconstitutional because it is an “invasion of privacy”. This, however, is not true. . . “In 1995, the United States Supreme Court ruled that drug testing for high school athletes was constitutional, and some districts expanded their policies to include middle schools.” I believe allowing schools to drug test athletes was a
Range Achievement Test-4 (WRAT-4) Since the 19th century, standardized tests have been implemented to gauge and measure student learning and help make scholastic institutions accountable for teaching. The tests have also played a crucial role in the field of psychology. Not to be confused with aptitude testing, which measures an individual’s learning ability, achievement tests aim to find out on how much the individual knows about a specific subject. In accomplishing this, the tests assists in evaluating
A Test of Character in The Crucible A crucible refers to a harsh test, and in The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, each person is challenged in a severe test of his or her character or morals. Many more people fail than pass, but three notable characters stand out. Reverend John Hale, Elizabeth Proctor, and John Proctor all significantly change over the course of the play. All participants in the witch-hunt were influenced by the society that existed in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. Salem operated
ceremony. We would take an aptitude test to give us a recommendation on which faction would best suit us but ultimately, the choice was ours in the end. The day before the choosing ceremony, we went to take an aptitude test. This test wasn’t any normal test. In this test, we entered a virtual world that put us in situations where we had to make quick choices that determined our outcome on the test. But the only catch to it was, you had no idea what type of test it would be beforehand. I will never
Sixteen year old Beatrice Prior is from the Abnegation faction but selflessness never came naturally to her. When they must take their aptitude test to see which faction they will live in for the rest of their lives. Her test comes back inconclusive. She shows equal aptitude of Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. On Choosing Day she decides to join Dauntless. After Tris jumps into the Pit and onto the net, Four's hand is the one she grabs and he pulls her out of the pit. He is later revealed to
Athletes put their bodies to the test. Strict diets and tough workouts that are designed to push their bodies to the limits. Athletes do insane things to be the best at what they do. Soccer players go through extreme measures to be the fastest, toughest, and most technical on the field. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. In America soccer is becoming increasingly more popular every year. Soccer is played with almost no protection except for a six inch shin guard that is supposed
and has been teaching here for the past six years. Mrs. Kregel was very nice and answered all of the questions I had. Although she prefers informal testing, such as homework, Katie still uses formal tests at the end of chapters or units. All of the second grade classrooms at Oelwein have the same tests for reading and math. Katie prefers informal testing and observation because she is able to check her students understanding of a certain topic or skill. I agree with Katie that using performance assessments
To sustain a decent job that could provide a substantial income in today’s society, citizens must have a high school education. Since children are allowed to drop out of school at the age of sixteen, they limit their chances of leading a prosperous life as an adult; without a high school diploma, or its equivalency, it is difficult to live life above the poverty line. Nettie Legters, a research scientist, expresses her thoughts on how there should be a way to prevent the percentages of student dropouts
that in order for information obtained by assessments to be useful, the assessments need to meet certain requirements. Reliability means that assessments need to be consistent. You can make an assessment reliable by giving different forms of the same test. The reliability of the assessment is confirmed
16 PF Personality Test Resolving the conflict of Reliability vs. Accuracy in the 16 PF test Introduction: For psychologists, one of the more popular theories espoused is the trait approach to personality, or “the idea that people have consistent personality characteristics that can be measured and studied” (Kalat, 2002, 512). However there are several problems that arise. First, there are significant cross-cultural differences, so one set of personality traits for one culture may differ
Test-Oriented or Ability-Oriented It is known to the world that China has thousands of years of culture, and education is always an important part of carrying on and developing culture in Chinese history. With the changing of time, the content of education and the method of education have changed a lot. And now in the twentieth century, what does education look like in China after thousands of years of development? There are some kinds of problems existing in the current Test-Oriented Education
