Book Description
This booklet helps the reader learn and review basic concepts of reliability and validity, types of psychological measurements (e.g., self-reports, observational strategies, qualitative assessments) and testing components (i.e., elements of test construction, administration, scoring, and interpretation). This elemental knowledge is a necessary prerequisite whether further study consists of (a) a review of specific test domains and tests (such as intelligence testing or vocational testing), which occurs in many masters level testing and assessment courses, or (b) examination of content related to the history, theory, development, and application of testing, often the foci of doctoral testing and measurement courses. All of these elements influence a test’s power to detect constructs of interest.
