Reliability of Psychological Testing

Discuss the topic of test reliability as it is presented in “Psychological Testing: Principles, Applications, and Issues” by Kaplan & Saccuzzo.

According to your book, in some settings (particularly in education) tests have been criticized simply because of improper interpretation or over-reliance on a single measure. Discuss the topic and suggest ways to improve the situation. Briefly discuss each of the APA’s standards for reliability.  Describe the factors affecting the reliability and validity of this test you are currently taking. What are possible sources of error (including your own subject variables)? How could test administration have been improved? Identify and discuss four advantages of computer-administered tests.
