Test Item Reliability: Scenario

Solution Preview

Dear Student,

Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started. In this particular problem, you are being asked to provide a sample specific testing scenario. I am assuming that you have already discussed what a testing scenario is in class so this is a familiar concept for you. But just in case you need clarification on that, as testing scenarios apply to a whole range of subjects, including sociology and software application, you can use the listed resources to explore it more. Now for this particular problem, I think using the following outline will help:

1. Specific Testing Scenario - what is it for, how is the scenario undertaken, what is the context, what/who are the participants?
2. Reliable test item - what is a reliable test item and what is it in this particular scenario?
3. Unreliable test item - same as above.
4. What are the reliable/unreliable test scenario determinants.

Now, since you did not indicate a context, the scenario can be anything, but since this is a Psychology research subject we will locate a 'test' within this area as our sample. I hope that this solution has helped.

Sincerely,

Specific Testing Scenario

What is a testing scenario? A testing scenario is undertaken across a host of disciplines, including psychology, for doing scenario testing. Academics and researchers can 'test drive' the reliability and applicability of a psychometric tool, a test which on their own come in many forms. In psychology, it is a form of assessment that measures the skills, aptitude, knowledge, fitness or capacity/classification of an individual on a host of topics and specializations. A test can be oral, taken on paper, on a computer or in a designated area or site wherein the individual must perform physical tests (as in physical fitness tests in the army or in auditions to dance troupes); what is common across them is that they vary in ...
