Three essential criteria for a good psychometric test :
reliability, validity and standardisation.
Test standardisation ensures that the conditions are as
similar as possible for all individuals who are given the
test.
Standardisation also ensures that no matter who gives the
test and scores it, the results should be the same.
+
A test must measure the same thing in the
same way every time someone takes it.
There are four types of test reliability:
Internal consistency reliability ± all the
parts of your test questionnaire are
reliable throughout
Test±retest reliability ± the test remains
valid over time.
Alternate forms Reliability
Split half Reliability
There are four types of test validity:
Face validity: does your test appear to measure
what it purports to measure?
Concurrent validity: does your test of honesty
correlate with existing standardised tests of
honesty?
Predictive validity: do the results of your test
predict future behaviour?
Construct validity: if all our hypotheses about
the test variable (construct) are supported then
we have a high degree of construct validity.
