Document Summary
Personality tests measures various aspects of personality, including motives, interests, values and attitudes. Standardization and norms: standardization refers to the uniform procedures used in administration and scoring of a tes. Includes both personality scales and tests of mental abilities. All subjects get the same instructions, the same questions and the same time limits so that their scores can be compared meaningfully. Ex: exam format in a specific class: standardization group test norms are based in a large sample of people who were carefully selected to be representative of the broader population. Ex: the american norms for most intelligence tests are based on samples of. 2000-6000 people whose demographic characteristics closely match the overall demographics of the us. Ex: they tell you that you are average in creativity or slightly above average in clerical ability. We would have to ask a group of subjects to take the test on two occasions, usually a few weeks apart.
