Back 17

general occupational themes, basic interest, occupational scales, personal style scales, and adnimistrative indices

Front 18

What is Empirical Criterion Keying?

Back 18

A method of scale construction which determines what test items accurately distinguish between people

choosing items for different scales on the basis of how well the items distinguish b/w different criterion groups

Front 19

What are "ipsative" scores?

Back 19

indicate standing in terms of interests measured by the test (which interest is strongest, second strongest etc..)

Front 20

What is domain-referenced testing?

Back 20

scoring an examinee's test performance in terms of how much he/she has mastered in the domain being assessed.

Front 21

Self-directed search

Back 21

Back 22

Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, Working Memory, and Processing Speed

Front 23

What does an elevated K score mean? A low K score?

Back 23

K is a suppressor scale. elevated K score might indicate an attempt to “fake good.” While a very low score on the K scale indicates excessive frankness or self-criticism or an attempt to “fake bad.”

Front 24

The detailed score report for Holland’s Self-Directed Search (SDS) provides information on?

Back 24

Consistency (Consistency = distance between the examinee’s first two code letters in the RIASEC hexagon)

differentiation (commonness (percent of people in the sample who obtained the same code),

coherence (vocational/career aspirations belong to the same Holland category).

Congruence refers to the degree of match between a person’s personality (as measured by the SDS) and the characteristics of a particular job or career

Back 27

The digit span subtest measures attention and short-term memory;
the arithmetic subtest measures reasoning ability and concentration; comprehension measures judgment and common sense; and picture arrangement measures nonverbal reasoning and interpretation of social situations

Front 30

On the Halstead-Reitan, the Impairment Index is used as a measure of brain damage and is calculated by:

Back 30

by adding the number of subtests on which the examinee scored below the cutoff and dividing the sum by the total number of subtests. (Originally, ten subtests were used; some experts now recommend including only seven.) The higher the Impairment Index, the greater the likelihood of brain damage

Front 32

Curriculum-based assessment provides information about a student in the context of

Back 32

the existing curriculum. The results of such an assessment not only indicate the student's performance level -- they also provide feedback about the instruction itself, so that necessary changes can be made to better fit the student's ability and current knowledge.
