CPCE - Assessment and testing || A+ Score Secured.
Appraisal correct answers Process of assessing or estimating attributes
Free choice / free response correct answers Short answer
Forced choice correct answers NCE/CPCE
Recognition items
Difficulty index correct answers Indicates percentage of people who answered each item
correctly
Normative & Ipsative format correct answers Normative - person's score evaluated by comparing
it to others who took same test
Ipsative - measures compare traits within same person
Achievement (attainment) tests vs. personality (interest) inventory correct answers Achievement
- Measure maximum performance or present level of skill
Personality - typical performance
Q-sort correct answers Sorting statements to evaluate self-esteem
Sprial test vs. cyclical test correct answers Spiral - Items get progressively harder
Cyclical - several sections which are spiral
, Test battery correct answers Horizontal test - measures various factors (ex: math & science)
during same testing procedure
Which is more important, validity or reliability? correct answers Validity - a test must measure
what it means to measure
Types of validity correct answers Content - does the test examine the behavior under scrutiny?
Construct - test's ability to measure a theoretical construct like intelligence
Concurrent - how well the test compares to other instruments that are intended for the same
purpose
Predictive (empirical) - test's ability to predict future behavior according to criteria
Consequential - social implications of using tests
* criterion validity - concurrent validity and predictive validity together
Incremental vs. synthetic validity correct answers Incremental - process by which a test is refined
and becomes more valid as contradictory items are dropped
Synthetic - helper looks for tests that have been shown to predict each job element or component
Convergent vs. discriminant validity correct answers Convergent - correlating test scores with an
outside source
Discriminant - test will not reflect unrelated variables
