If an intelligence test administered to 6th graders correlates strongly with the high school GPAs of these students, it can be concluded that the test has high __________ validity.
 
  a. concurrent
  b. predictive
  c. construct
  d. none of the above

Question 2

A test that is supposed to measure overall intelligence includes only mathematical questions. This test clearly lacks __________ validity.
 
  a. content
  b. discriminant
  c. predictive
  d. concurrent

Question 3

In general, the __________ of an intelligence test is the extent to which it measures what it is supposed to measure.
 
  a. utility
  b. validity
  c. reliability
  d. significance

---

Question 4

In evaluating the reliability of an intelligence test, Dr. Xavier computes __________, which is the average of all possible __________ correlations for the test.
 
  a. Pearson's r; split-half
  b. Cronbach's alpha; significant
  c. Cronbach's alpha; split-half
  d. Pearson's r; significant

Question 5

The internal consistency of an intelligence test is measured by calculating
 
  a. split-half reliability.
  b. interrater reliability.
  c. test-retest reliability.
  d. discriminant reliability.

Question 6

Dr. Vorst has created a new intelligence test, and the research conducted to date suggests that the items on the test are highly intercorrelated (i.e., they are measuring the same thing). Another way to say this is that Dr. Vorst's test has high __________ reliability.
 
  a. internal consistency
  b. item-quotient
  c. interrater
  d. test-retest
