• W344122992 abstract "The article invokes a literal image of test givers as measurement devices, and explores the psychometric properties of these instruments. Concurrent and content validation are discussed as they pertain to this view of test givers. Test-retest and parallel forms reliability also are discussed Suggestions for improving test givers' accuracy and dependability are offered Those who administer tests frequently are assumed to be accurate and dependable test givers. We imbue them with the psychometric properties of validity and reliability, and believe these properties to be at acceptably high levels. These properties are thought to have been established largely by virtue of graduate training in psychology, generally in applied specialties such as clinical, school, applied developmental, and other domains. Incremental gains in accuracy and consistency are believed to occur during field experiences, such as practica and internships, as well as in subsequent professional experiences, continuing educational activities, and on-going exposure to supervision such as might occur during peer reviews. Virtually all programs that train test givers attempt to make them uniform. Those who have taught in graduate-degree programs and, perhaps, have taught courses in testing will recognize that trainers do not encourage diversity when it comes to learning to administer tests. In fact, we emphasize the opposite--uniformity. There is a sense that test givers should be interchangeable because they all have been standardized during training and this standardization has been reinforced in subsequent professional experiences. However, with the variability of training programs and the variability of instructors in courses relating to test giving, it seems unreasonable to expect such a high degree of uniformity among test givers. Although some degree of uniformity may characterize test givers in a particular program or in a particular course within a particular program, it is less likely to obtain across instructors and across graduate programs more broadly. At this juncture, it seems appropriate to review and reconsider the assumptions made routinely about the competencies of test givers. In the remainder of this paper, test givers are evaluated in terms of their accuracy and dependability in administering and scoring tests, such as those used to evaluate cognitive abilities or to provide measures of achievement. Prior to considering the formal psychometric properties of test givers, it is important to note that exploring this perspective requires one to view individuals who administer tests as instruments themselves. Although this image is somewhat challenging to conjure and to maintain, the analogy represents an alternative framework with which to address test givers' accuracy and dependability. The framework extends beyond that which is presently available and which tends to focus on the actual tests. In the traditional view of interrater reliability, for example, the psychometric property of reliability is seen as a function of the test, rather than of test givers. Typically, these studies use two or more expert scorers to score a number of records and then establish the extent of agreement between or among the independently assigned scores by computing a reliability coefficient. Tests that are scored similarly by different scorers are deemed reliable, at least as far as their scoring systems are concerned. But the reliability of the individual test givers themselves often is not addressed. Hence, viewing test givers as instruments provides a vehicle with which to approach the psychometric soundness of more than tests themselves. The following discussion reflects upon the role of the test giver and, specifically, the psychometric properties of validity and reliability demonstrated by these instruments. Many graduate programs in professional psychology emphasize the administration, scoring, and interpretation of tests. …" @default.
