  b. Low validity
  c. High reliability
  d. Low reliability

Q. 2

When one attempts to estimate the reliability of all the possible split half combinations of a test, one is assessing what kind of reliability?
 
  a. Test-retest
  b. Alternate forms
  c. Parallel forms
  d. Coefficient Alpha
  e. None of these

Q. 3

A type of reliability in which half of the test items are correlated with the other half is called:
 
  a. test-retest.
  b. alternate forms.
  c. parallel forms.
  d. odd-even.
  e. none of these.

Q. 4

The Spearman-Brown formula is for which purpose?
 
  a. To make adjustments due to concerns that examinees might look up answers between taking the same test twice
  b. To make adjustments to reliability estimate due to concerns of shortness of the test (limited test items)
  c. To adjust correlations during factor analysis to assure accurate representation of all items
  d. To calculate the coefficient of determination (shared variance) when making adjustments to reliability estimates

Q. 5

  b. Alternate forms
  c. Parallel forms
  d. Internal consistency
  e. None of these

Q. 6

  b. Alternate forms
  c. Internal consistency
  d. Odd-even
  e. Kuder-Richardson

Q. 7
