Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Angoff method is a widely used method in personnel selection to estimate the difficulty level of a test and set the cut score. In this method, a panel of experts is asked to estimate the proportion of minimally competent individuals who would pass the test. Therefore, known experts (choice C) are the best choice for this question. Focus groups (choice A) and disinterested bystanders (choice D) are not appropriate for this task, as they may not have the necessary expertise to evaluate the job requirements and the test content. Known groups (choice B) are not relevant to this question, as they refer to a method of validating a test score using an external criterion.
