Developing Psychological Tests

The beginnings of any published test can likely be traced to “self-talk” (thoughts) on the part of the test developer. He or she may think “There ought to be a test designed to measure (fill in the blank) in (such and such) way.” Consider a psychological test that you think should be developed. In your original post, specify the content area of the test and consider the process of test conceptualization. Write and share a brief ‘blueprint’ of your proposed test, including, for example, the development process, test construction, test tryout, analysis of findings, and test revision.

Below is the latest Liberty Way section (2023-24, p. 4) addressing academic dishonesty and the use of Artificial Intelligence. It includes, but is not limited to: • Unauthorized collaboration on any work for the course • Contract Cheating: Any involvement in the outsourcing of coursework to a third-party • Using unauthorized aids of any kind to create coursework without permission from the instructor. Unauthorized aids include, but are not limited to: • The coursework of others • Artificial Intelligence (AI) aids • Paraphrasing software • Any other aid that compromises the originality or authenticity of coursework • Any act that compromises exam integrity and/or violates exam protocols • Stealing, buying, receiving, selling, or transmitting coursework of any kind • Sabotaging another student's academic work • Facilitating or aiding in any act of academic dishonesty Please keep in mind that written assignments automatically go through a plagiarism detection tool called Turnitin. Turnitin scans your assignment for originality and artificial intelligence. Examples of artificial intelligence aids include but are not limited to ChatGTP, Bard, Grammarly, Adobe Firefly, Canva.ie, Cramly, and other equivalent forms of AI to create content for coursework. Rather than using unauthorized AI aids, consider using Microsoft Word's fairly new Editor tool to proofread for spelling and punctuation errors. Until official training information is provided,
