Question 11

On which section of the Stanford-Binet (SB5)would you be asked questions,such as "Why is yeast added to bread dough?" and "What does cryptic mean?"
A) quantitative reasoning section
B) working memory section
C) divergent thinking section
D) knowledge section

Accepted Answer

These types of questions test an individual's knowledge and understanding of various subjects, which is assessed in the knowledge section of the Stanford-Binet (SB5) test.

Question 12

Alfred Binet's test was revised for use in North America and renamed the Stanford-Binet test in 1916 by
A) David Wechsler.
B) Howard Gardner.
C) Lewis Terman.
D) Robert Sternberg.

Accepted Answer

Lewis Terman revised and popularized the test for use in North America and renamed it as the Stanford-Binet test. David Wechsler, Howard Gardner, and Robert Sternberg are psychologists known for developing their own intelligence tests.

Question 13

When one establishes guidelines to follow in administering a test and interpreting it,such as using the same instructions and allowing the same amount of test-taking time,then one is demonstrating test
A) validity.
B) objectivity.
C) reliability.
D) standardization.

Accepted Answer

Standardization refers to having consistent procedures for administering and scoring a test. This helps ensure that the test results are reliable and free from extraneous factors that could impact the results (e.g. different instructions, different test-taking time). Therefore, establishing guidelines for test administration and interpretation demonstrates test standardization.

Question 14

Test standardization involves finding which of the following that was made by a large group of people like those for whom the test was designed?
A) validity score
B) reliability score
C) norm
D) all of these

Accepted Answer

Test standardization involves finding norms, which are descriptions of the test performance of a particular group that is representative of the population for which the test was designed. Validity and reliability scores are measures of a test's quality rather than characteristics of the group for which the test was designed.

Question 15

Question 16

Dr.Sanchez and his two assistants administer a test to three groups of students using the same instructions and answer forms; and the students in each group are given the same amount of time to work on the test.Their administration of the test illustrates test
A) validity.
B) reliability.
C) objectivity.
D) standardization.

Accepted Answer

The administration of the test by Dr. Sanchez and his assistants using the same instructions, answer forms, and time for each group of students demonstrates standardization. Standardization refers to the use of consistent and uniform procedures in administering and scoring a test. This ensures that all test-takers are treated the same way, which increases the reliability and objectivity of the test results. Validity, on the other hand, refers to the extent to which a test accurately measures what it claims to measure. Therefore, while the administration of the test by Dr. Sanchez and his assistants may indirectly suggest the validity of the test, it is not the best choice as it is not the main focus of the scenario.

Question 17

During test standardization,the average score made by the people taking the test is referred to as a(n)
A) norm.
B) mode.
C) range.
D) standard deviation.

Accepted Answer

During test standardization, the average score made by the people taking the test is referred to as a norm. The other options do not fit the definition of standardization. The mode is the most frequent score, the range is the difference between the highest and lowest scores, and the standard deviation measures the spread of scores around the mean.
