Reliability

StarStarStarStar

The consistency of a measure; an index of how stable or replicable test scores or other assessment outcomes are over time or across different raters.

StarStarStarStar

Validity

StarStarStarStar

The extent to which a test measures what it is intended to measure; an indicator of how accurately a test or tool assesses the construct of interest.

StarStarStarStar

Standardization

StarStarStarStar

A process that ensures that a test is administered and scored in a consistent or 'standard' manner; it allows for comparisons across different individuals or groups.

StarStarStarStar

Psychometric Test

StarStarStarStar

A standardized assessment tool used to measure individuals' mental capabilities and behavioral style, designed based on psychometric principles.

StarStarStarStar

Item Response Theory (IRT)

StarStarStarStar

A family of mathematical models that explains the relationship between latent traits (e.g., abilities, attitudes) and their manifestations in test items.

StarStarStarStar

Factor Analysis

StarStarStarStar

A statistical method used to identify underlying relationships between variables; often used in test construction to identify latent constructs.

StarStarStarStar

Construct

StarStarStarStar

An abstract quality, attribute, or characteristic that is theoretically determined and not directly observable; psychometric tests aim to measure constructs.

StarStarStarStar

Scale

StarStarStarStar

A set of items combined to produce a single numerical score, typically used to measure a construct or variable in psychometrics.

StarStarStarStar

Norm-Referenced Test

StarStarStarStar

A type of test in which individuals' scores are compared to a pre-established distribution of scores (norms) from a representative sample of respondents.

StarStarStarStar

Cronbach's Alpha

StarStarStarStar

A coefficient of reliability or internal consistency of a psychometric test; a higher alpha suggests that the items in a test measure the same construct.

StarStarStarStar

Test-Retest Reliability

StarStarStarStar

A measure of the stability of test scores upon repeated administration of the same test after a period of time.

StarStarStarStar

Inter-Rater Reliability

StarStarStarStar

The level of agreement or consistency between different raters or assessors who evaluate the same performance or responses.

StarStarStarStar

Content Validity

StarStarStarStar

The degree to which test items are representative of the content and construct they are intended to assess; often determined by expert judgment.

StarStarStarStar

Criterion-Referenced Test

StarStarStarStar

A test that measures an individual's performance against a specific standard or criterion rather than comparing scores to those of other individuals.

StarStarStarStar

Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient

StarStarStarStar

A non-parametric measure of the strength and direction of the association between two ranked variables.
