Which of the following is NOT a type of reliability?

  1. Test-retest reliability

  2. Parallel-forms reliability

  3. Split-half reliability

  4. Content validity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Content validity is a type of validity, not reliability.

What is the correlation between two different forms of a test called?

  1. Test-retest reliability

  2. Parallel-forms reliability

  3. Split-half reliability

  4. Inter-rater reliability


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Parallel-forms reliability is the correlation between two different forms of a test that are administered to the same group of people at the same time.

  1. Sample size

  2. Test length

  3. Test difficulty

  4. Test administration conditions


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sample size is not a factor that can affect the reliability of a test.

Which of the following is a type of validity?

  1. Face validity

  2. Content validity

  3. Construct validity

  4. Criterion validity


Correct Option:
Explanation:

Face validity, content validity, construct validity, and criterion validity are all types of validity.

  1. Reliability

  2. Validity

  3. Accuracy

  4. Precision


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  2. Test instructions

  3. Test administration conditions

  4. Test scorer bias


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Test content is not a factor that can affect the validity of a test.

What is the correlation between a test score and a criterion measure called?

  1. Test-retest reliability

  2. Parallel-forms reliability

  3. Split-half reliability

  4. Criterion validity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Criterion validity is the correlation between a test score and a criterion measure.

Which of the following is NOT a type of criterion validity?

  1. Concurrent validity

  2. Predictive validity

  3. Incremental validity

  4. Face validity


Correct Option: D

What is the degree to which a test is free from measurement error called?

  1. Reliability

  2. Validity

  3. Accuracy

  4. Precision


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Reliability is the degree to which a test is free from measurement error.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that can affect the reliability of a test-retest reliability coefficient?

  1. Time interval between test administrations

  2. Sample size

  3. Test length

  4. Test difficulty


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Test difficulty is not a factor that can affect the reliability of a test-retest reliability coefficient.

What is the degree to which a test is consistent across different administrations called?

  1. Test-retest reliability

  2. Parallel-forms reliability

  3. Split-half reliability

  4. Inter-rater reliability


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Test-retest reliability is the degree to which a test is consistent across different administrations.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that can affect the reliability of a parallel-forms reliability coefficient?

  1. Sample size

  2. Test length

  3. Test difficulty

  4. Test content


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Test content is not a factor that can affect the reliability of a parallel-forms reliability coefficient.

What is the degree to which a test is consistent across different raters called?

  1. Test-retest reliability

  2. Parallel-forms reliability

  3. Split-half reliability

  4. Inter-rater reliability


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Inter-rater reliability is the degree to which a test is consistent across different raters.

Which of the following is NOT a factor that can affect the reliability of a split-half reliability coefficient?

  1. Test length

  2. Test difficulty

  3. Test administration conditions

  4. Split-half method


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Split-half method is not a factor that can affect the reliability of a split-half reliability coefficient.

What is the degree to which a test is free from bias called?

  1. Reliability

  2. Validity
