Meeting 40 - New classification about type of tests

Meeting: June 29th, 2017
Supervisor: Menno Van Zaanen

Summary:

I am thinking that categories to evaluation about test can be: 

Type test:

1.       Aptitude test:  Capacity or ability refers to the potential for adquiring such skills. Pp. 223 As you probably know, aptitude refers to a person's capacity to learn. https://www.alleydog.com/glossary/definition.php?term=Aptitude%20Test

2.       Achievement test: refers to the possession of skills which have been acquired, through experience or deliberate training.

3.       Personality test:  refers to assess individual's character through of their feelings or behavior. For example: Self-report inventories or Projective tests pp. 248

Type answer:

1. Completion answers, which is evaluate with two options (one if the answer is acceptable and zero if the answer any other reply).

 2. Multiple choice items, which show one correct options and other distractor answers (one if the answer is correct and zero if the answer is incorrect).

3. Two choice –dichotomous item, which give only two options but only one correct answer (e.g. True/False).

4. Checklist, which give more than three options (the better answer of this options).

5. Matching, which associate objects/concepts/stimuli between two list of options (Amount of the number of correct matches).

6. Ordered-category, which an integer is given to a category (e.g. Likert scales).

7. A forced-choice, which has two options to describe preference (only can chose one)

8. Rankings, which from three or more stimulus the participant must to choice rank of preference (a number is given to a category); 9. Unordered category (a values is given to a category).

9. Picture-based exercises

Quality of test:

Reability: is the degree to which an assessment tool produces stable and consistent results.

Validity: refers to how well a test measures what it is purported to measure. https://chfasoa.uni.edu/reliabilityandvalidity.htm

-Menno had considered that "type of answers", it is not necessary. 

-We discussed about this categories before to start to classified it.
