Two multiple choice forms of two cloze reading tests were developed from responses to the cloze forms by college undergraduates. These tests were investigated using the original keys, empirical keys, and option weighted keys. Reliability and validity data are reported. (Author/JKS)

An instrument for identifying disturbed and normal third to fifth grade children was evaluated. The instrument employs verb choices in a forced-choice sentence-completion format. A cross-validation procedure established high percentages of correct classifications. (Author/JKS)

The invariance of results from magnitude estimation and pair comparison treatment of complete ranks scaling procedures is examined. Whether or not roughly interval measurement is achieved by these methods is also explored. Implications for the validity of measurement are briefly discussed. (Author/JKS)

Three multiple-abilities batteries--the Comprehensive Ability Battery, Differential Aptitude Tests, and General Aptitude Test Battery--are briefly discussed, and results of a study involving cross-correlations of the tests in these batteries are presented. (Author/JKS)

Items constructed like those of Mednick's Remote Associates Test (RAT) fall into distinct categories, which are shown to interact significantly with subjects and with subject groups determined on the basis of performance. Some doubts are cast on the validity of the RAT. A similar 16-item test is included. (Author/JKS)

The validity of the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the National Organization for Education Evaluation of the Iranian Ministry of Sciences and Higher Education was examined in relation to the prediction of success of 406 college sophomores in Iran. (Author/JKS)

An investigation of the correlations between scores on subtests of the National League for Nursing Achievement Tests and scores on the corresponding sections of the Ohio State Board Licensure Examinations revealed significant relationships on all five of the content-similar subtests. (Author/JKS)

Comparative validity data for the Career Ability Placement Survey and the General Aptitude Test Battery relative to predicting course marks are presented for a sample of ninth grade students. The pattern of correlations between school grades and conceptually similar tests in the two measures was highly similar. (Author/JKS)

The standard growth expectations for various levels and categories of the Quarterly Profile Examination were reported in this study as an approach to assessing edumetric validity. The results demonstrated the usefulness of computing standard growth expectations for tests used in the measurement of within-individual growth. (Author/JKS)

The development of the Arizona Course/Instructor Evaluation Questionnaire is described. Related research is presented demonstrating the reliability and validity of the Arizona Course/Instructor Evaluation Questionnaire. (Author/JKS)

The development and implementation in a psychology department of a set of student rating-of-instruction items was discussed. The results of item descriptive statistics, correlational, and principal component analysis supported the construct validity of the items. (Author)

The responses from 212 college students in an educational psychology course to the Inventory of Student Perception of Instruction and the Instructional Improvement Questionnaire were factor analyzed and related to three measures of course achievement. All three measures correlated significantly with each of the six factors drawn from each…

For a sample of 270 students who sought on their own initiative counseling on academic, career, vocational, and personal matters at a university counseling and testing center, intercorrelations of their responses to 20 statements on the Evaluation of Counselors Scale were factor-analyzed. Tables of results are presented and discussed. (Author/JKS)

The responses of five samples of elementary and secondary school students to the Brooks Student Questionnaire were factor analyzed. Extracted factors, centile norms, and reliability data are reported. (Author/JKS)

Reliability and validity data are presented for three orthogonal measures of temperament: trait-pleasure, trait-arousal, and trait-dominance. Reliability coefficients for the three scales were .91, .60, and .84, respectively. Intercorrelations among the three scales were insignificant and low. (Author/JKS)
