To Validity Scale or Not to Validity Scale?
This week, you were introduced to personality tests and issues with their development and use. One particular area of debate involves the inclusion of validity scales in tests of personality. While many concerns may exist, the use of such scales appears to be increasing and they continue to be utilized and interpreted.
In your post:
- Analyze how validity in psychometrics, as you explored in Week 4, is different from a validity scale in a test of personality.
- Describe this difference in terms of their definitions.
- Provide at least two examples of validity scales.
- Cite at least one advantage and one disadvantage regarding the use of validity scales. The test authors provide several pros and cons of using validity scales in personality assessment.
- Based on your readings, including preparation for this discussion, what is your position on this issue? How do you feel about using and interpreting validity scales on a measure of personality?
