- Q1
A client’s score in the Raven’s Progressive Matrices (SPM) placed him in the 30th percentile of the norming sample. His parents insist this means he has an “average IQ.” As the psychometrician, what is the most accurate response?
Agree, because percentile rank directly represents IQ equivalent.
Disagree, because only z-scores can be interpreted as standard scores.
Disagree, because percentile rank of 30 is below the normative mean.
Agree, because percentile rank of 30 is still within the bell curve.
120s - Q2
During test administration of the Panukat ng Ugali at Pagkatao (PUP), a Grade 9 student suddenly refused to continue and said, “Ayoko na, baka magamit laban sa akin ‘to.” According to the Code of Ethics, what should you do FIRST?
Force the student to continue because the test is already in progress.
Respect the refusal and explain confidentiality and test purpose.
Call the parents immediately and disclose the responses.
Skip the item and proceed with the remaining tests.
120s - Q3
You are tasked to validate a new locally developed stress scale for healthcare workers. To determine whether its items adequately represent the stress construct, what validity evidence should be prioritized?
Content Validity
Criterion-Related Validity
Face Validity
Construct Validity
120s - Q4
A 24-year-old client was administered the 16PF and scored very high on Factor C (Emotional Stability) but very low on Factor Q4 (Tension). Which is the BEST interpretation?
The client is emotionally stable but still prone to inner restlessness.
The client is stable and unlikely to show stress reactions.
The client is unstable but denies feeling tension.
The client shows inconsistent responding and the results are invalid.
120s - Q5
While scoring a PACT, you noticed the examinee’s answer sheet has erasures that affected the raw score tabulation. What is the MOST ethical next step?
Leave the items blank since erasures invalidate the responses.
Change the answers based on what you think the examinee intended.
Re-check responses carefully and apply standard scoring rules.
Ask another psychometrician to alter the results for fairness.
120s - Q6
In a validation study of a Filipino-developed depression scale, the correlation between test scores and a gold-standard clinical interview was r = 0.10. Based on psychometric principles, what does this suggest?
The test is likely to be useful despite a low coefficient.
The test is acceptable as long as reliability is high.
The test’s criterion validity is unlikely to be useful.
The test has very beneficial criterion-related validity.
120s - Q7
A school counselor asks you to recommend a test for identifying students with specific learning disabilities. Which would be the MOST appropriate among Annex B tests?
WISC
WAIS-IV
SB5
PUP
120s - Q8
You are reviewing a case report where the psychologist interpreted MMPI-2 results without noting that the F scale was extremely elevated. From a psychometric principle standpoint, what is the problem here?
The MMPI-2 should only be used with Filipino norms, not US norms.
Validity scales are less important than clinical scales in MMPI.
Ignoring a validity scale undermines test interpretation accuracy.
Elevated F scale always indicates malingering and should be disregarded.
120s - Q9
A client from an indigenous community expresses concern that the WAIS-IV items are not culturally fair. Which is the MOST appropriate response?
Modify WAIS items based on the client’s culture.
Consider using Raven’s Progressive Matrices or PNLT instead.
Reassure the client that WAIS-IV is universally valid.
Continue testing because standardized tests cannot be changed.
120s - Q10
A psychometrician in training is asked by a teacher to photocopy an original test booklet of the PPP (Panukat ng Pagkataong Pilipino) to save costs. What is the MOST ethical action?
Ask permission from the client before photocopying.
Refuse, since photocopying test materials violates test security.
Allow, because cost efficiency benefits the school.
Agree, provided the copies are kept within the institution.
120s - Q11
A researcher develops a new Filipino resilience scale and runs factor analysis. The items cluster into three interpretable factors with strong loadings. What type of validity evidence does this support most strongly?
Construct Validity
Criterion Validity
Face Validity
Content Validity
120s - Q12
During administration of the Panukat ng Pagkataong Pilipino (PPP), the examinee asks, “Pwede ko bang malaman agad score ko?” What should you do according to ethical standards?
Delay giving results until proper interpretation and feedback are prepared.
Share results only with the referring authority, never with the client.
Provide immediate raw scores since clients have the right to results.
Tell them results will be withheld unless requested formally.
30s - Q13
In a study comparing job performance ratings and scores on a cognitive ability test, a correlation of r = 0.40 was found. How should this be interpreted?
The test has poor reliability.
The test has questionable predictive validity.
The test should be rejected due to low correlation.
The test has very beneficial predictive validity.
120s - Q14
A psychometrician is asked to administer the Bender-Gestalt Test for suspected brain injury, but they have no training in neuropsychological assessment. What is the MOST ethical step?
Decline and refer the client to a qualified professional.
Administer under supervision and sign as examiner.
Administer the test but avoid interpreting results.
Proceed since the test is a neuropsychological test.
120s - Q15
A client scored 1.5 SD below the mean on the WAIS-IV Working Memory Index. Which classification is MOST appropriate?
Borderline
Low Average
Average
Impaired
