A T-score has a mean of ___ and a standard deviation of ___:
Answer: 50 and 10
T-scores are standardized to a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10, so a T-score of 60 is one standard deviation above the mean.
Concurrent validity is established by:
Answer: Correlating test scores with a criterion measured at the same time
Concurrent validity compares a new test against an already-established criterion measure that is administered at approximately the same time.
The standard error of measurement (SEM) is primarily used to:
Answer: Construct a confidence interval around an observed score
The SEM provides a confidence interval around an observed score, helping estimate the range within which a person's true score likely falls.
Norm-referenced tests compare an individual's score to:
Answer: A standardization or peer normative group
Norm-referenced tests rank individual performance against a standardization sample representing a broader reference population.
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) is best classified as a(n):
Answer: Objective personality inventory
The MMPI-2 is an objective personality inventory using structured true/false items with empirically derived, standardized scoring.

Answer: Accurately forecasts future performance on a criterion
