18 Questions
What is a measure of an individual's performance in meeting job demands called?
Criterion
What type of validity approach involves correlating test scores with a performance measure to infer a relationship?
Criterion-Related Validity
In the context of validity coefficient, what does the correlation between a test score and a performance measure represent?
Predictive Validity
Which type of validity design has a time lag between collecting test data and criterion data?
Predictive Validity
What is the purpose of 'Face Validity' in the context of testing?
To demonstrate relevance to test-takers
'Criterion-Related Validity' is demonstrated by correlating the test score with which of the following?
'A Performance Measure'
What does reliability in a test measure?
Consistency or stability of measurement
Which statistical index is used to show the level of agreement among different raters?
Inter-Rater Reliability
What does Cronbach's Alpha measure?
Internal consistency
Which type of validity focuses on whether a test measures what it claims to measure?
Face Validity
What is the main difference between validity and reliability?
Reliability focuses on measuring consistency, while validity focuses on measuring important criteria.
What does Inter-Rater Reliability aim to assess?
The agreement among different raters or judges in their assessments
What is the potential disadvantage of concurrent validity?
It may artificially depress the correlation coefficient due to range restriction.
Which type of validity involves ensuring that the selection procedure represents important work behaviors and activities?
Content-Related Validity
What is the focus of Construct-Related Validity?
Establishing evidence base for the validity of a measurement.
What is the key consideration in Content-Related Validity?
Determining important work behaviors and activities through job analysis.
Why does Concurrent Validity have a potential disadvantage related to range restriction?
It only considers high scorers on the predictor, potentially depressing the correlation coefficient.
What is the primary outcome of Construct-Related Validity?
Establishing an evidence base for the validity of a measurement.
Test your knowledge on the concept of validity in selection tests, including topics like face validity, criteria for predictive hypotheses, and the Measure of individual’s performance in meeting job demands. The quiz is based on Landy's work from 2007.
