Test Revision
Ability/achievement Assessment - correct answer-Assessment of acquired information
(achievement) or an ability to acquire information (aptitude) about a particular subject matter
or domain. Ability assessments are typically used for educational purposes
Acculturation - correct answer-The degree to which immigrants identify with and conform to
a new culture or a host society, or the degree to which they integrate new cultural values into
their current value system
Action stage - correct answer-Successfully changes their behavior for short periods of time
, Alternate form (parallel forms) - correct answer-Computed by comparing the consistency of
scores of individuals within the same group on two alternate but equivalent forms of the
same test
Army Alpha - correct answer-Measured verbal activity, numerical ability, ability to follow
directions, and knowledge of information
Army Beta - correct answer-Non-verbal counterpart to the Army Alpha and used to evaluate
illiterate or non-English recruits
Assessment - correct answer-Comprehensive system to get information about a client.
Evaluation methods counselors use to better understand characteristics of people, places,
and things.
Behavioral observations - correct answer-Refer to behaviors that can be observed and
counted. The observations are planned in advance or based on recent events. The
behaviors, which usually occur in a natural setting, are monitored by the client, by an
observer such as a partner or parent. The observer records the frequency of a discrete
behavior. Frequently the duration of the response and the intensity of the behavior are also
recorded. These observations have an advantage of pertaining directly to a behavior that a
client is concerned about, which can usually be included as part of a goal.
Bias - correct answer-Refers to score differences or difference in findings that lead to
differential ways these data are used for various groups and subgroups
Bibliographical measures - correct answer-Refer to the accomplishments or experiments as
reported by the client or as reflected in historical records.They differ from behavioral
measures in that the observations are not planned in advance. They differ from rating scales
in that the information is usually a matter of fact rather than a matter of judgment.
Bibliographical data include information maintained in cumulative records by schools or in
personnel records by businesses, such as academic grades, extracurricular achievements,
job promotions, hobbies, and volunteer work experiences.

Broad Assessment competencies - correct answer-Avoiding errors, refraining from labeling
ppl with derogatory terms, securing materials, ensure examinees follow direction, optimum
test settings, refrain from coaching or training, interpretation, do not photocopy materials,
refrain from homemade answer sheets, establish rapport, refrain from answering questions,
& do not make assumptions about norms
Calculating the standard deviation - correct answer-Calculate the mean
For each data point find the square of its distance from the mean
