Document Summary

Assume you are going to develop a new test to predict job success for aspiring novelists. Consider how each of the following concepts relates to your task, and describe how you would attempt to accomplish each for your new test. Content validity is the extent to which a test samples the behavior that is of interest. The test that determines whether the aspiring novelist gets the job or not should assess skills that pertain to the job. If the job involves creative writing or grammar editing, the test should also feature questions within the scope of literature. This means that novelists who take the test and perform well on it have a promising future in the career when compared to novelists who scored poorly. Predictive validity is the success which a test predicts future performance. Standardization is the meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested "standardization group".
