    Which of these is not a psychological test?  - ProProfs

    Which of these is not a psychological test? 

    • Test of ability 

    • Test of character 

    • Test of intelligence 

    • Test of personality 

    Correct Answer
    A. Test of character 
    Explanation
    A test of character is not considered a psychological test because it focuses on evaluating an individual's moral and ethical qualities rather than their psychological traits or abilities. Psychological tests typically assess factors such as intelligence, personality, and abilities, whereas a test of character would involve evaluating a person's values, integrity, and behavior in various situations.

    Which of these is not assessed in psychological tests? 

    • Emotional functioning 

    • Cognitive ability 

    • Aptitude 

    • Character 

    Correct Answer
    A. Character 
    Explanation
    Psychological tests are designed to assess various aspects of an individual's mental and emotional functioning. Emotional functioning, cognitive ability, and aptitude are commonly assessed in psychological tests as they provide insights into an individual's emotional state, cognitive abilities, and potential for learning and problem-solving. However, character is not typically assessed in psychological tests as it is a complex and subjective trait that is difficult to measure objectively. Character is influenced by a variety of factors such as upbringing, values, and personal experiences, making it challenging to assess through standardized psychological tests.

    Which of these implies that the test must measure what it is intended for?  - ProProfs

    Which of these implies that the test must measure what it is intended for? 

    • Reliability 

    • Validity 

    • Standardization 

    • Test norms 

    Correct Answer
    A. Validity 
    Explanation
    Validity is the extent to which a test measures what it is intended to measure. It refers to the accuracy and meaningfulness of the test results. If a test has high validity, it means that it accurately measures the specific construct or trait it is designed to assess. Therefore, validity implies that the test must measure what it is intended for. Reliability refers to the consistency and stability of test scores, standardization refers to the consistent administration and scoring of the test, and test norms provide a frame of reference for interpreting test scores, but none of these directly address the requirement for the test to measure what it is intended for.

    • Psychology 

    • Psychoanalysis 

    • Psychological education 

    Correct Answer
    A. Psychometrics 
    Explanation
    Psychometrics is the science behind psychological testing. It involves the measurement of psychological traits and abilities, such as intelligence, personality, and aptitude, using standardized tests and statistical techniques. Psychometric tests are designed to assess an individual's mental abilities, attitudes, and behaviors, providing valuable information for various purposes, including clinical diagnosis, educational placement, and personnel selection. This field focuses on the development, validation, and interpretation of these tests, ensuring their reliability and validity in accurately measuring psychological constructs.

    • Latent characters 

    • Latent action 

    • Latent variables 

    • Latent behaviour 

    Correct Answer
    A. Latent variables 
    Explanation
    Latent variables are unobserved constructs that are not directly measured or detected in psychological testing. These variables are inferred from the observed variables and are used to explain the relationships between the observed variables. They represent underlying dimensions or traits that cannot be directly observed but can be estimated or measured indirectly.

    Which of these is not a part of psychological testing? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not a part of psychological testing?

    • Standardization 

    • Tests norms 

    • Reliability 

    • Accuracy 

    Correct Answer
    A. Accuracy 
    Explanation
    Accuracy is not a part of psychological testing because it refers to the correctness or precision of a measurement, rather than a specific aspect of the testing process. Psychological testing typically focuses on standardization, which involves administering the test in a consistent and uniform manner, test norms, which provide a comparison of an individual's scores to a representative group, and reliability, which refers to the consistency and stability of the test results.

    Which of these is not a quality of good psychological tests? 

    • Organization 

    • Validity 

    • Flexibility 

    • Reliability 

    Correct Answer
    A. Flexibility 
    Explanation
    Flexibility is not a quality of good psychological tests because it refers to the ability of the test to be adapted or modified to different situations or populations. Good psychological tests should have standardized procedures and scoring methods to ensure consistency and reliability of results across different administrations. Flexibility would introduce variability and make it difficult to compare results or establish norms. Therefore, flexibility is not considered a desirable quality in psychological tests.

    Which of these implies tgaf the result is obtained after multiple tests?  - ProProfs

    Which of these implies tgaf the result is obtained after multiple tests? 

    • Reliability 

    • Validity 

    • Objectivity 

    • Test norms 

    Correct Answer
    A. Reliability 
    Explanation
    Reliability implies that the result is obtained after multiple tests because it refers to the consistency and stability of the measurement. A reliable test produces similar results when administered multiple times to the same group of individuals. This indicates that the test is consistent and free from random errors. Therefore, reliability is the best option that implies obtaining results through multiple tests.
