The field of study focused on measuring and analyzing psychological and educational characteristics, such as knowledge, skills, and personality traits.

The consistency of a measurement instrument over time or across different applications.

The extent to which an instrument measures what it is intended to measure.

A type of validity that examines how well the content of a test matches the curriculum or domain being assessed.

A type of validity that assesses how well a test predicts a future outcome or behavior.

A measure of how well a test or scale predicts scores on another related measure. For example, a test's ability to predict student success based on their SAT/GRE scores.

The degree to which a test or scale measures what it's supposed to measure by comparing it to a 'gold standard' measure.

The extent to which a test or scale provides evidence that it measures a specific concept or trait. It involves comparing scores on the test or scale to scores on other measures that are supposed to measure the same concept or trait.

The degree to which a test or scale measures a specific concept or trait by comparing it to scores on OTHER measures of different constructs (that it's supposed to measure). For example, a Depression Scale should not correlate highly with an Anxiety Scale.

The ability of a test or scale to detect changes in a measured variable over time.

A method of measuring reliability by administering the same test to the same group of people on two separate occasions.

A type of reliability that assesses the consistency of results between two different versions of the same test.

A method used to assess the reliability of two different versions of the same test, often measuring the same concepts in slightly different ways. Examples include English vs. Spanish and adult vs. child versions.

The reliability of a measurement instrument, where the consistency of scores is assessed within a single test. This can be evaluated by comparing the scores on the first half of the test with the second half, or by comparing scores on odd-numbered items with even-numbered items.

A measure of the consistency of scores across different testers or raters. This is often used for assessing behavioral observations or ratings. Agreement below 50% is considered poor, and above 80% is considered very good.

A statistical measure that indicates the proportion of the total variance in a dependent variable that is explained by the independent variables.

Measures the average difference between the predicted values and the actual values of the dependent variable, indicating how much error exists in the prediction.
