Dr. Maisel is creating a new personality test.The test is a self-report measure in which participants answer questions on a scale from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree" about how they would respond to particular situations. He then uses the responses to place participants along a spectrum in a number of different traits. He compares the results of the test to reports from the participants' managers at work on their working styles and ability to work within their team and finds that the test results are highly positively correlated with managers' reports. What type of test is he developing, and what type of validity or reliability can be determined from his work on the test? Projective; construct validity Objective; internal consistency reliability Objective; test-retest reliability Objective; construct validity

Answer 1

Dr. Maisel is developing an objective personality test. Objective tests are characterized by clear, unambiguous questions and specific response options, such as the scale from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree" mentioned in the scenario. The fact that Dr. Maisel compares the test results to reports from the participants' managers and finds a high positive correlation indicates that the test has construct validity. Construct validity refers to the extent to which a test measures the theoretical construct it is intended to measure. In this case, the construct is personality traits. The high correlation between the test results and the managers' reports suggests that the test is accurately measuring the intended construct of personality traits. Therefore, the correct answer is: Objective; construct validity.
