1. In testing, convergent validity is one aspect of construct validity. To assess the convergent validity of a new test, we should examine
the extent to which scores on this test relate to scores on another measure of the same construct.
the extent to which scores on this test are unrelated to scores on test that measures a theoretically unrelated construct.
whether scores on the test predict a meaningful outcome in the future.
whether the items on the test appear to reflect the construct being measured.
2.While a major benefit of the unstructured interview lies in its flexibility, a major drawback exists in the
amount of time required to complete it.
potential for leading questions to be asked.
resistance of the patient to answer all questions contained in it.
inability of the client to articulate symptoms.
3.In the clinical assessment process, referral questions aid in the determination of
the goals of assessment and the psychological tests or measurements to be administered.
an appropriate placement for the patient upon discharge.
how long the therapeutic process will take.
the best way to psychologically triage the individual for further testing.
4.All of the following are psychometric properties of assessment instruments EXCEPT
validity
reliability
standardization
replicability
5.The intelligence quotient or IQ was originally determined by
dividing a child's chronological age by his mental age.
taking the child's mental age and dividing it by his chronological age.
using the mental age as a gauge of natural intelligence.
comparing a child's score with those obtained by peers.
6.A construct validity score represents
whether two independent practitioners agree on a diagnosis.
the degree to which a test accurately assesses a specific concept and not other related concepts.
a test's ability to discriminate a patient who is trying to fake symptoms.
the percent of test-takers who show reliable scores on a test measuring an related constructs.
