Instructions
In Week 2, I selected three standardized tests which are personality, autism, and depression that have relevancy to my specialization or a related profession of opening a center caterin to kids with autism where focusing on the testing purpose, population, content or constructs assessed, and test user training. In Week 5, I focused on analyzing the evidence for the technical quality of your three selected tests.
In Chapters 7 and 8 of my Psychological Testing and Assessment text, I have been learning about test utility, test development, item analysis, and test use in a variety of settings and test-takers. In this assignment, I will apply these concepts to my selected tests when evaluating their materials, scoring, and technology.
Important: A minimum of six references are required for this assignment (two for each test). You may use test publisher websites, test reviews, journal articles, and other sources.
For this assignment, locate a minimum of six resources (a minimum of two sources for each test) pertaining to the materials, scoring, and technology of the three tests. I will not be required or need to have a copy of my tests to complete this assignment. I may use many different types of references and sources to obtain this information about your tests. These references may include journal articles, literature reviews, MMY reviews, and test publisher websites. In almost all cases, I will be able to locate some level of information on these elements.
