Creating your own test; integration of theory and practice:
If you were to create your own test in the field of Behavioral Assessment, what specific measures would you take to ensure that it would become the new “gold standard” for this type of test. Justify your response with theory and evidence regarding “best practices” for test development.
Include the following components in your paper.
*Review the current literature (at least 3 sources) on this type of assessment, including information on the most commonly used relevant tests and procedures. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the major tests and explain why professionals in the field prefer some tests over others. State your opinion on what you think is the most significant advantage and disadvantage of this type of testing.
*State the underlying assumptions of this type of testing and evaluate whether or not you think they are valid assumptions.
*Evaluate how this type of testing impacts the psychological and/or educational decisions that will be made for the individuals being assessed. State your opinion on whether or not you agree that testing should have such an impact.
**Create a “mini-test” consisting of 10 questions. Justify why you created each question including an explanation of why each question is most appropriate for the type of test you are creating.
