Which criterion of the standardised test refers to consistency of test scorers? Correct Answer Reliability

A test is a kind of assessment to measure the knowledge, skills, and aptitude in a specified field. There are generally oral and written types of tests. The written tests can be short answer type, objective type, long answer type, and essay type tests.

  • Standardized tests are concerned with the whole field of knowledge or ability tested. These are useful in comparing the achievement of individual groups. These expert-made tests can be used on a national level as they are based on the uniform curriculum.

Key Points

The criterion of a good standardized test:

Objectivity
  • It means that the personal assumptions and pre-thoughts of the examiner should not affect the scores of the child.
  • It affects both reliability and validity.
Reliability
  • It implies accuracy and consistency in behavior.
  • A reliable test should give essentially the same score when administered twice to the same sample of the population or by the same or different examiners.
Validity
  • A test is said to be valid if it actually measures what it is supposed to be measured.
  • Reliability is a necessary condition for validity, but validity is not necessary for reliability.
Comprehensiveness
  • A test is said to be comprehensive when it includes  all the topics/subjects of the test content.
  • It should give equal importance to each topic.
Usability
  • A good test should be easy, attractive, and interesting and must be convenient to both the teacher and the students.
  • It means that no difficulties should come across while using a specific test.
Diagnostic
  • It should diagnose the weaknesses and strengths of the children.
  • Also, it must diagnose the qualities for which it is made.
Clearness
  • The directions given to the students should be brief and definite so that children may avoid wrong performance due to misunderstanding of direction.

 

Hence, it could be concluded that reliability criteria refers to consistency of test scorers.
