How are reliability and validity determined? Cite one method from each category.
To determine reliability it should have stability on the results or consistent not only that but reliability
should have equivalence it means taking measurements on the same people at the same time yields
consistent findings. One method that we can use test-retest reliability. On the other hand, we can
determine validity through measuring the item that corresponds to any particular conceptual domain of
the idea. One method is Face Validity.
Differentiate between objective tests and projective tests in relation to industrial/organizational psychology and cite
one example test from each that could be used specifically in the industrial setting.
Objective test are designed in such a way that the applicant is confined to a few answers that will be
assessed using defined criteria. One example for this is the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory.
Projective tests are unstructured activities such as describing ink blots and sketching drawings were
assigned to interviewees. One example for this is Rorschach inkblot Test.
What strategies/tools can be utilized to predict performance using applicant skills? Provide at least two (2) and
describe each briefly.
First is Simulations, are shown to discover individuals who will outperform their competitors and
achieve their objectives more quickly. One example is role playing in an industrial setting. Second is
Business Games where individuals or teams compete against one another in solving ordinary yet
simulated managerial, financial, or operational challenges at business schools and executive training.
