Test Construction

Test construction is the process of developing assessments to measure specific skills, knowledge, or traits. It involves defining clear objectives, creating meaningful questions or tasks, and ensuring the test accurately and reliably reflects what it intends to measure. This process includes selecting appropriate formats, reviewing items for clarity and fairness, and pilot testing to evaluate effectiveness. The goal is to produce a test that provides valid, consistent results and offers useful insights into the individuals being assessed. Good test construction balances scientific rigor with practical considerations to ensure the assessment is both accurate and fair.
