Test

Refers to any technique used to evaluate someone

Reliable, Valid, Cost Efficient, Legally Defensible

Four characteristics of effective selection techniques

Reliability

Extent to which a score from a selections measure is stable and free from error

Test-retest Reliability, Alternate Forms Reliability, Internal Reliability, Scorer Reliability

Test reliability is determined in four ways



Test Retest Reliability

With this method, each one of several people take the same test twicew

Temporal Stability

The test scores are stable across time and not highly susceptible to such random daily conditions

3 days to 3 months

Typical time intervals between test administrations in Test Retest Reliability

0.86

Test-retest reliability coeffecient used in industry

State Trait Anxiety Inventory

Measures two types of Anxiety

Trait Anxiety

refers to the amount of anxiety an individual normally has all the time

State Anxiety

The amount of anxiety an individual has at any given moment

Alternate Forms Reliability

two forms of the same test are constructed

Counterbalancing

designed to eliminate any effect that taking one for of the test first may have on scores on the second form

Form stability

the scores on the two forms are similar



0.89

Average correlation between Alternate-forms test

Internal consistency

the extent to which similar items are answered in similar ways and measures item stability

Item Homogeneity

another factor that can affect the internal reliability of a test and it measures the same construct

Split half, Coefficient Alpha, KR 20
