CPCE - Assessment and testing (2022/2023) Graded A+ Appraisal ✔✔Process of assessing or estimating attributes Free choice / free response ✔✔Short answer Forced choice ✔✔NCE/CPCE Recognition items Difficulty index ✔✔Indicates percentage of people who answered each item correctly Normative & Ipsative format ✔✔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 ✔✔Achievement - Measure maximum performance or present level of skill Personality - typical performance Q-sort ✔✔Sorting statements to evaluate self-esteem Sprial test vs. cyclical test ✔✔Spiral - Items get progressively harder Cyclical - several sections which are spiral Test battery ✔✔Horizontal test - measures various factors (ex: math & science) during same testing procedure Which is more important, validity or reliability? ✔✔Validity - a test must measure what it means to measure Types of validity ✔✔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 ✔✔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 ✔✔Convergent - correlating test scores with an outside source Discriminant - test will not reflect unrelated variables Reliability coefficient of .70 means ✔✔70% of the score is accurate and 30% is inaccurate True variance or coefficient of determination ✔✔Square the coefficient Ex: Correlation of .70 .... .70 x .70 = .49 and .49 x 100 = 49% First IQ test ✔✔Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon MA/CA x 100 IQ formula replaced by SAS (standard age score) Wechsler IQ ✔✔More for adults than Binet WPPSI ✔✔Wechsler PS and Primary Scale of Intel. - 2-6 months to 7 years and 7 months WAIS-IV ✔✔Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - 16-90 years Online, 60-90 min, based on neurocognitive research, verbal/perceptual/working memory/processing speed, FSIQ (full scale IQ), measures IQ from 40-160 Mean: 100 SD: 15 (16 for Stanford Binet) WISC-IV ✔✔Wechsler Intel. Scale for Children - 6-16 years Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey ✔✔personality measure for people who do not have severe psychiatric disabilities MMPI - 2 ✔✔Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -2 Help clinicians diagnose and treat Standardized personality test Psychometric ✔✔Any form of mental testing Projective test ✔✔Client will project their own personality if given unstructured task - shown neutral stimuli Favored by psychodynamic clinicians TAT ✔✔Thematic Apperception Test - projective Uses pictures Bender Gestalt II ✔✔Ability to discern if brain damage is evident, 4+, client instructed to copy 16 geometric figures which the client can look at while drawing AARC ✔✔Assoc. for Assessment and Research in Counseling Connors ✔✔ADHD Rating scales for client, teachers, and parents Standard error of measurement ✔✔How accurate or inaccurate a test score is standard error (SEM) of 3. Score on test =106, if he takes test a lot, we can predict that 68% of the time.....Tom will score between 103 & 109 106-3 = 103 and 106+3 = 109 Computing Item difficulty ✔✔#who answered correctly/ total # tested Formative evaluation ✔✔Judgement of the program occurs when the program is forming or actually occurring Flynn effect ✔✔the worldwide phenomenon that shows intelligence test performance has been increasing over the years Summative evaluation ✔✔Occurs at end of program John Ertl ✔✔Claimed he invented an electronic machine to analyze neural efficiency and take the place of the paper and pencil IQ test Robert Williams ✔✔Created Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homogeneity (BITCH) Lewis Terman ✔✔Americanized the Binet J.P. Guilford ✔✔120 factors which add up to intelligence convergent and divergent thinking Raymond Cattell ✔✔fluid and crystallized intelligence 16 PF (16 personality Factor Questionnaire) - ages 16+ Francis Galton ✔✔Intelligence was normally distributed like height or weight and that it was primarily genetic Arthur Jensen ✔✔Tried to prove african americans lower IQs (Jensenism)
