Test, Measurement and Evaluation Questions and Answers

Q: If height and weight of a person are 160 cm and 64 kg respectively, his ponderal index will be

The ponderal index of the person is 40.The ponderal index is the height divided by the cube root of the weight, with height in cm and weight in kg:\[ PI = \frac{160}{\sqrt[3]{64}} = \frac{160}{4} \]\[ PI = 40 \]The other values (35.5, 45.5 and 50) do not result from the formula for these figures. The ponderal index is a measure of leanness, since a higher figure means a thinner build.

Russel Launge volleyball test had following test items.

I. Serving ability II. Spiking ability
III. Blocking ability IV. Volleying ability Find the right combination.
Codes :

A.I & II
B.I & III
C.II & IV
D.I & IV

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

The Russell-Lange volleyball test has the items serving ability and volleying ability, that is I and IV. These are the two tasks of the test.

Spiking and blocking are not in the test, so options with II or III are wrong.

Match List-I with List-II and select the right option.

List - I (Test)	List - II (Reliability Coefficients)
I. JCR	1. 0.89
II. Nelson Hand reaction test	2. 0.93
III. Cooper test	3. 0.91
IV. Sargent Jum	4. 0.89
	5. 0.78

Codes : I II III IV

A.3 1 4 2
B.5 3 2 4
C.3 4 1 5
D.4 2 1 3

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The key gives the code 3 1 4 2, taking the reliability coefficients of the tests as 0.91 for the JCR, 0.89 for the Nelson hand reaction test, 0.78 for the Cooper test and 0.93 for the Sargent jump.

The other codes assign the coefficients in a different order, so they do not agree with the key.

Match List-I with List-II and select the correct option.

List - I	List - II
I. Goniometer	1. Energy cost
II. Dynamometer	2. Range of motion
III. Douglas Bag	3. Blood pressure
IV. Sphygmomanometer	4. Strength
	5. Relative strength

Codes : I II III IV

A.2 5 1 3
B.2 4 1 3
C.5 4 1 1
D.4 5 1 3

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The matches are goniometer with range of motion, dynamometer with strength, the Douglas bag with energy cost and the sphygmomanometer with blood pressure, which is the code 2 4 1 3.

The other codes give relative strength to the dynamometer or give the Douglas bag a wrong measure, and the goniometer is the instrument of joint movement.

Given below are two statements, one is Assertion (A) and the other one is Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : A test which is apparent in its aim of measurement is highly valid test.
Reason (R) : As it clearly specify the predictive value of the test.
Find the correct answer from the following :
Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are right and (R) is right explanation of (A).
B.Both (A) and (R) are right, but (R) is not right explanation of (A).
C.(A) is right and (R) is wrong.
D.(R) is right and (A) is right explanation of (R).

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The assertion is right and the reason is wrong. A test that is plain in its aim of measurement has good face validity and is called highly valid in the key.

The reason, that it clearly specifies the predictive value, is not accepted, so (R) is wrong.

Which one of the following is not a criteria of a good test ?

A.Objectivity
B.Subjectivity
C.Reliability
D.Validity

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

Subjectivity is not a criterion of a good test. The accepted criteria are validity, reliability, objectivity and the availability of norms and administrative feasibility. Objectivity means that different scorers get the same score, so subjectivity, where the score depends on the scorer's opinion, is its opposite and spoils a test. Reliability and validity are the main criteria, so they are wrong choices. A good test should give the same result whoever scores it, and the same result on repeated use, and it should measure what it claims to measure.

Following tests are used to measure strength of different forms :

I. Sit-ups
II. Squat jump
III. Medicine ball throw
IV. Pull-ups Among them strength endurance is measured by

A.I and II
B.II and III
C.III and IV
D.IV and I

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

Strength endurance is measured by sit-ups (I) and pull-ups (IV). Both ask the muscles to work repeatedly against body weight, and the score is the number of repetitions. The squat jump measures explosive strength of the legs and the medicine ball throw measures explosive strength of the arms and trunk, so the options that include II or III are not measures of strength endurance. Strength endurance means the capacity to keep up repeated muscle contractions, which sit-ups and pull-ups test by counting repetitions.

Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the others as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Evaluation = measurement compared with objectives.
Reason (R) : Measurement and evaluation play a very important role in physical education.
In the context of the above statement, which one of the following is true.
Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C.(A) is true but (R) is false.
D.(A) is false but (R) is true.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

Both statements are true, but (R) does not explain (A). Evaluation is the judging of measurement results against objectives, which makes (A) the standard formula. Measurement and evaluation do play an important role in physical education, so (R) is also true. But (R) states the importance of the two processes and does not say why evaluation equals measurement compared with objectives, so it is not the explanation.

Arrange the following Test batteries in chronological order of their origination with the code given below :

I. Kraus-Weber Test
II. AAHPER Youth Fitness Test
III. Barrow General Motor Ability Test
IV. Health Related Physical Fitness Test
Codes :

A.III, IV, I & II
B.IV, I, II & III
C.I, III, II & IV
D.II, III, IV & I

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

The chronological order of the test batteries is Kraus-Weber Test, Barrow General Motor Ability Test, AAHPER Youth Fitness Test and Health Related Physical Fitness Test (I, III, II, IV). Kraus-Weber came in 1953, Barrow's motor ability test in 1954, the AAHPER Youth Fitness Test in 1958, and the health-related fitness tests came in the 1980s. Any code that places the health-related battery before the others puts the newest first.

Match List - I with List - II and find out the correct option from the code given below :

List - I (Measuring Instrument)	List - II (Measured Quantity)
I. Tensiometer	1. Range of motion around a joint
II. Flexomeasure	2. Work
III. Spirometer	3. Strength
IV. Ergometer	4. Vital capacity

Codes : I II III IV

A.2 3 1 4
B.4 2 3 1
C.1 4 2 3
D.3 1 4 2

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

The matching is tensiometer with strength (3), flexomeasure with the range of motion around a joint (1), spirometer with vital capacity (4) and ergometer with work (2), the code 3, 1, 4, 2. A tensiometer measures the pull or tension a muscle can exert, a flexometer measures joint range, a spirometer measures lung volumes, and an ergometer measures work done. The other codes give the spirometer or ergometer a wrong quantity.

If height and weight of a person are 160 cm and 64 kg respectively, his ponderal index will be

A.35.5
B.45.5
C.50
D.40

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

The ponderal index of the person is 40.

The ponderal index is the height divided by the cube root of the weight, with height in cm and weight in kg:

\[ PI = \frac{160}{\sqrt[3]{64}} = \frac{160}{4} \]

\[ PI = 40 \]

The other values (35.5, 45.5 and 50) do not result from the formula for these figures. The ponderal index is a measure of leanness, since a higher figure means a thinner build.
