1. 1. Introduction

2. 1. What is a test? A test is a measurement device or tech­nique used to quantify behavior or aid in the understanding and prediction of behavior. A test measures only a sample of behavior, and error is always associated with sampling process. Test scores are not perfect measures of a behavior or characteristic, but they significantly predict the behavior or characteristic.

3. An item is a specific stimulus to which a person responds overtly; this response can be scored or evaluated (for example, classified, graded on a scale, or counted). Because psychological and educational tests are made up of items, the data they produce are explicit and hence subject to scientific inquiry. A psychological test or educational test is a set of items that are designed to measure characteristics of human beings that pertain to behavior.

4. 2. Types of Tests Ability tests: Measure skills in terms of speed, accuracy, or both.  Achievement: Measures previous learning  Aptitude: Measures potential for acquiring a specific skill.  Intelligence: Measures potential to solve problems, adapt to changing circumstances, and profit from experience Personality tests: Measure typical behavior-traits, temperaments, and dispositions.  Structured (objective): Provides a self-report statement to which the person responds "True" or "False," "Yes" or "No."  Projective: Provides an ambiguous test stimulus; response requirements are unclear
