Note: Synthesizing the evaluation of test technical quality requires specific steps that must be carried out in a certain order. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Professionals in the field must be able to administer and interpret tests to establish a diagnosis and determine a treatment plan. Before a test is selected, test users must be knowledgeable of the technical quality (reliability and validity) of the tests they use. Test users should only use instruments with adequate reliability and validity.
In this assessment, you will complete a deeper analysis of the technical quality of your three selected tests from Assessment 1 by focusing on reliability and validity evidence. To complete this assessment, you will draw upon your knowledge about psychometrics in general and reliability and validity in particular.
