Question 1

Question
Which one is not a type of psychological test?
Answer
  • Interest and Attitudes
  • Neuropsychological Test
  • Mental Ability Test
  • Validity Test

Question 2

Question
Which are the correct assumptions of psychological tests?
Answer
  • Traits are: unstable, measurable, differ from person to person, relate to actual behaviour
  • Traits are: stable, measurable, similar from person to person, relate to actual behaviour
  • Traits are: stable, measurable, differ from person to person, relate to actual behaviour
  • Traits are: stable, inconsistent, differ from person to person, relate to actual behaviour

Question 3

Question
Statement 1: standardisation is utilised to make interpretation easier Statement 2: when we work out someone's score on a measure, this is their true score
Answer
  • Statement 1: true Statement 2: false
  • Statement 1: false Statement 2: true
  • Both are false

Question 4

Question
Statement 1: stability always guarantee's representativeness Statement 2: a bigger sample leads to a greater representation of the population and is therefore unstable
Answer
  • Statement 1: true Statement 2: false
  • Both are true
  • Both are false
  • Statement 1: false Statement 2: true

Question 5

Question
What is stratified cluster sampling?
Answer
  • Instead of random sampling to get representativeness, samples are reliably recruited to get particular ratios of subgroups
  • Instead of random sampling to get representativeness, samples are deliberately recruited to get particular ratios of subgroups
  • People are randomly selected from a cluster of individuals
  • Instead of random sampling to get representativeness, samples are deliberately recruited to get particular a whole subgroup

Question 6

Question
Statement 1: the larger the sample and the wider the range of things measured, the closer to a normal curve the distribution becomes Statement 2: because the normal curve is mathematically defined, we can assume something is normally distributed and do non-parametric tests on it
Answer
  • Both are true
  • Statement 1: false Statement 2: true
  • Statement 1: true Statement 2: false
  • Both are false

Question 7

Question
Why is it convenient for our distribution to be normal?
Answer
  • Can do more powerful tests and make scale more comparable
  • So you can do a non-linear transformation
  • Can make weak effects more powerful and make scales wider
  • So you can redesign you measure

Question 8

Question
If I had a z-score of -1.07 what would my Tscore be?
Answer
  • 39.3
  • 38.3
  • 40.3
  • 35.3

Question 9

Question
What is the mean and SD of IQ scores?
Answer
  • 200 and 25
  • 100 and 15
  • 10 and 15
  • 100 and 25

Question 10

Question
Statement 1: a percentile rank is the percentage of people in the norm group falling below a certain raw score Statement 2: to work out a percentile rank from a z-score use the table of standard non-parametric distribution
Answer
  • Both are true
  • Statement 1: false Statement 2: true
  • Statement 1: true Statement 2: false
  • Both are false

Question 11

Question
Statement 1: 25% of individuals are in the middle band of the stanine scale Statement 2: each division of the stanine scale is .5 SD wide
Answer
  • Both are false
  • Both are true
  • Statement 1: true Statement 2: false
  • Statement 1: false Statement 2: true
