Interpretation and Validity of Tests
The usefulness of tests depends on the evaluator's ability and experience to predict an individual's behavior based on information about their actions, responses, or results in specific situations. Questionnaire answers reveal personality traits, attitudes, intelligence, and emotional aspects of the candidate. These conclusions support decision-making or classification within a category.
According to the specific objectives of the evaluation carried out, we can classify tests as follows:
Knowledge tests estimate the respondent's level in a specific area, serving as an indicator of prior learning and an index to predict future success.
These predict future performance in an area in which the individual has not yet been trained. Schools, private companies, and public institutions use them to assign specific positions to each applicant.
Intelligence tests measure an individual's overall capacity to relate to their environment.
Attitude tests, used in vocational guidance, can predict future satisfaction rates in a given activity. Self-application questionnaires are completed by the individual, who indicates preferences among a series of professional activities. These assessments serve to organize work groups and schedule training.
These tests measure a person's social and emotional adjustment and identify potential needs for psychological help. Their items briefly describe typical feelings, attitudes, and behaviors to create a profile of the subject's personality.
These exercises deduce trends in ideas or behaviors, as their conclusions rely on personal or subjective responses.
