The responses of a psychological test, which are given in scaled form, generally indicate what among the following?

  • A.Strength and magnitude of the items
  • B.Reliability and validity of the items
  • C.Reliability and validity of responses
  • D.Strength and magnitude of the responses

Answer: D

The key gives strength and magnitude of the responses. When responses to a test are given on a scale, such as 'strongly agree' to 'strongly disagree', each response shows how strong or intense the respondent's reaction is. Reliability and validity belong to the test as a whole and are not shown by individual scaled answers. The key's choice of 'responses' over 'items' is because it is the answer of the person that carries the scale value.

Scaled responses, such as a five-point scale, show how strongly the person agrees, which is the strength and magnitude of the response.
