,If an individual obtains a percentile score of 25, it means that
1) the individual obtained a raw score of 25 on the measure
2) the individual obtained 25 per cent on the measure
3) 25 per cent of the normative group obtained a raw score higher than the individual
4) 25 per cent of the normative group obtained a raw score lower than the individual
The following type of test norms was based on the assumption that certain characteristics
increase with age and experience
1) Z-scores
2) McCall’s T-score
3) Grade equivalents
4) Percentiles

, The item difficulty and the order in which the items in the test are arranged, should be
considered when determining ________ reliability
1) Test-retest
2) Alternate-form
3) Split-half
4) Kuder-Richardson
A researcher evaluated the psychometric properties of a personality questionnaire for
young adults consisting of six subscales. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients ranged
between 0.84 and 0.92 for the six subscales of the questionnaire and the test-retest
coefficients ranged between 0.42 and 0.52 for the six subscales
The questionnaire will provide reliable indications of personality for young adults over a
period of time. This statement is
1) True, the items in each subscale are related
2) True, the measure is internally consistent
3) False, the measure is not stable over time
4) False, the subscales are not equivalent
A researcher evaluated the psychometric properties of a personality questionnaire
consisting of six subscales for your adults. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients ranged
between 0.42 and 0.52 for the six subscales of the questionnaire and the test-retest
coefficients ranged between 0.84 and 0.92 for the six subscales
“The questionnaire will provide reliable indications of personality for young adults in
terms of six different subscales” this statement is
1) True, the items in each subscale are related
2) True, the measure is stable over time
3) False, the measure is not internally consistent
4) False, the subscales are not equivalent
Note: Internal consistency is usually measured with Cronbach's alpha, a statistic calculated
from the pairwise correlations between items. Internal consistency ranges between zero and
one. A commonly accepted rule of thumb is that an α of 0.6-0.7 indicates acceptable reliability,
and 0.8 or higher indicates good reliability. High reliabilities (0.95 or higher) are not necessarily
desirable, as this indicates that the items may be entirely redundant. The goal in designing a
reliable instrument is for scores on similar items to be related (internally consistent), but for
each to contribute some unique information as well.
