PRO: best indicative of general intelligence, as
opposed to specialized areas of intelligence like
reading comprehension and spatial relations. Great
predictors of performance, career success and job
satisfaction.
CON: Sometimes unfair, and may create lower levels
of minority representation.
Personality Test
- focuses more on personal characteristics like
extroversion, agreeableness, and openness to
experience. This type of awareness can be useful when
assessing for managerial roles and job positions that
require a high degree of communication with other
people.

company culture and can be used as part of a career
development program or for enhancing productivity in
a team-based environment.
CON: Can be problematic if they inadvertently
discriminate against individuals who would otherwise
perform effectively.

4. Topic 2
What are the Construct, Content, Concurrent & Predictive Validity?

5. Face (Construct) Validity
- the content of the measure is to reflect the
construct being measured; studied through
judgment and non-expert ratings; doesn't
necessarily mean a measure is assessing the
construct well; typically makes test takers
happy; example: overt vs subtle integrity
tests; overt has face validity, subtle does not.
Content Validity
- measure sufficiently covers the area it is
intend to cover; measures of depression
should measure all aspects of depression
Concurrent Validity
- studies the relationship between the
measure and criterion at the same time; to
determine if people differ on a construct in a
meaningful (theoretical) way; give measures
to multiple groups, and test for differences;
e.g., high/low extraverts in a sales task; can
use in lieu of predictive validity in
appropriate cases
Predictive (Criterion-Related) Validity
- scores on the measure predicted behavior
on a criterion measured at a time in the
future; used for validating selection tests;
E.G., GER, SAT, job selection

6. What is … ?
Test–Retest
Equivalent Forms
Split-Half
Interscorer / Interrater

7. Test - Retest Reliability
- A measure of consistency for tests and other
instruments. The test of interest is taken at
first and then later retake it again for
comparison. The closer the scores are, the
more reliable the test, because it shows the
accuracy.
Equivalent Forms Reliability
- A term used in psychometrics (the
measurement of intelligence, skills, aptitudes,
etc.) to identify if two or more forms of tests
that are designed to measure some aspect of
mentality are truly equivalent to one another.
Split-Half Reliability
- A measure of consistency where a test is split
in two and the scores for each half of the test
is compared with one another. It is a test that
is consistent most likely is measuring
something; the experimenter does not know
what that "something" is the same. This is the
reliability sets the ceiling of validity.
Interscorer/Interrater Reliability
- Refers to statistical measurements that
identify how similar the data collected by
different raters who are scoring or measuring
a performance, behavior, or skill in a human
or animal.

19. 1. What does a happy life look like?

3. Is there a difference between a

20. What does a happy life
look like?
It looks like nothing
to worry, which
would cause
someone to feel sad
easily, losing
motivation and even
experiencing weight
loss. It is getting
along with everyone
is always a cheerful
moment.
How do you
measure
happy?
How I
measure
happy is by
the less
amount of
worry or sad
in life, and
the healthy
lifestyle that I
have.
Is there a difference between a happy life
and a meaningful life?
Yes, there is a difference. We can live
happily, but it doesn’t mean we can
live a meaningful life.
I don’t think having a meaningful life
can always make us happy, because
we need to plan what we need to do
that some people might find it quite
hassle to decide during the process of
finding the information and doing the
analysis.
