1

What defines each job in terms of the behaviors necessary to perform it and is used to develop hypotheses about the personal characteristics necessary to perform those behaviors?

1

The following characteristics are representative of what? Qualifications, experience, training, skills, responsibilities, emotional characteristics, sensory demands.

1

The following characteristics are representative of what? Job title, job location, job summary, working conditions, job duties, conditions of employment, hazards, social environment.

1

Job descriptions are useful for:

1

The first step of conducting a job analysis is

1

Which is not a method of collecting job analysis data?

1

What evidence is available regarding job analysis reliability and validity?

1

According to the Dierdorff & Wilson(2003) Meta-analysis, who showed higher inter-rater reliability?

1

According to the Dierdorff & Wilson(2003) Meta-analysis, what type of analysis is better?

1

___ scales using importance and difficulty had higher inter-rater reliability than scales.

1

What is an evaluative standard, rule, or test by which a person may be judged or measured?

1

What criteria should be used to establish MQs for a job?

1

When conducting a job analysis, average ratings of importance or frequency under .5 should be eliminated.

1

Criterion contamination is when we measure things that are not related to the job.

1

Sources of criterion contamination include

1

Which of these does not belong?

1

Ratings can be biased through

1

__________________ of criteria refers to the way employees performance varies over time.

1

Job Performance reliability refers to the method of observation and its effect on conclusions.

1

Examples of the dimensionality of job performance are: job and location, sales performance, leadership.

1

Criteria may be temporal or dynamic in 3 distinct ways:

1

Test/Re-test Reliability measurements should be taken over 6 months apart.

1

Reliability refers to

1

Any factor that influences performance on one occasion but not the other might introduce bias and influence the reliability of the measure.

1

Parallel forms of reliability are also known as

1

To increase reliability, reduce the variability of differences in individuals taking the test.

1

Higher variability = higher reliability.

1

The difficulty of a test item should be high, to weed out poor test takers.

1

The smaller the sample size, the larger the sampling error and lower reliability.

1

If reliability is 1, standard error of measurement is 0.

1

Higher standard error = higher reliability.

1

Standard error of measurement is the standard deviation of the normal distribution of scores that an individual would obtain if they took the same test 100 times.

1

Internal consistency reliability is

1

Internal Consistency Reliability according to the textbook is

1

The two (2) widely used methods of Internal Consistency Reliability are

1

The most used formula for the Kudar-Richardson Reliability Estimates is

1

Split-half reliability estimate is interpreted as

1

Coefficient of stability is a measurement of the correlation between

1

To compute coefficient of stability use test/re-test.

1

Coefficient of equivalence refers to the correlation between

1

For the coefficient of stability and equivalence, to guard against order effects, both halves of the examinees are given test A, followed by test B.

1

The main advantages of computing reliability using the coefficient of stability and equivalence are

1

Coefficient of equivalence is also known as

1

Random error is an error caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment.

1

Random errors increase the consistency and usefulness of test scores.

1

Random error varies randomly from occasion to occasion therefore:

1

Reliability can range from 0 - 1.

1

Cronbach's alpha is calculated to measure

1

Standard error of measurement helps establish confidence intervals.

1

Which of these examples are sources of random error?

1

Validity is the extent to which the measurement are repeatable.

1

The Trinitarian view of validity requires which of these to be considered very valid?

1

The Unitarian view of validity requires which of these to be considered highly valid?

1

Evidence related to the meaning of the construct and its relationship with other constructs is

1

The extent to which your measure contains a fair sample of the universe of situations it is supposed to represent is :

1

How well your assessment tool is related to the criteria/test adequacy based on correlations with the criteria is known as

1

Construct validity can be gathered by calibrating the test against an established measure, known standard, or against itself.

1

Content validity can be gathered by SMEs, whose responses are evaluated to make decisions about the content.

1

Problems with Predictive validity include

1

Which of the following is a problem with concurrent validity?

1

Concurrent validity is measured when :

1

Predictive validity is when a criterion measure is available after the predictor measure is taken.

1

Challanges of changes in job and job performance include:

1

Which of these is not a major step in conducting a job analysis?
