Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
Explanation:
Statement (I): Face validity can be ignored in test construction.
- Face validity refers to the extent to which a test appears to measure what it is intended to measure, is an important consideration in test construction.
- It can provide an initial indication of whether the test is likely to be measuring the construct of interest, and can be helpful in gaining the acceptance of potential test users.
Thus Face validity can be ignored in test construction is a false statement.
Statement (II): Potential user of a test must be totally concerned with statistical evidence of validity.
- While statistical evidence of validity is important in determining the usefulness of a test, potential users should also consider other factors such as practicality, acceptability, and ethical considerations.
- It is not sufficient to rely solely on statistical evidence of validity to determine the usefulness of a test.
Thus statement II is also false.
