PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING
COMPREHENSIVE PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS
AND SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉0.1-0.3. Answer: weak coefficent
◉0.4-0.6. Answer: acceptable coefficent
◉0.7-1. Answer: strong coeeficient
◉1. Linearity
2. Outliers
3. Range restriction. Answer: How could a correlation be
misleading?
◉Outlier. Answer: an extremely atypical point (case), lying
relatively far away from the other points in a scatterplot
◉Pearson r. Answer: method of computing correlation
Variables are linearly related and Variables are continuous
, ◉Coefficient of determination (r2). Answer: variance that the
variables share with one another
◉Spearman Rho. Answer: 1.method for computing correlation
2. useful for small sample sizes
3. variables are ordinal in nature
◉Reliability. Answer: consistency in measurement
◉Reliability coefficient. Answer: the ratio between true score
variance on a
test to the total variance
◉X = T + E
Observed Score =True Score+ Error. Answer: Classical Test Theory
◉Systematic Error. Answer: a source of error in measuring a
variable that is typically
constant or proportionate to
what is presumed to be the true
value of the variable being
