Dr Delmonte Develops a Questionnaire to Assess the Personality Trait

question 93

Multiple Choice

Dr. Delmonte develops a questionnaire to assess the personality trait of impulsivity among adults. In a journal article, she presents evidence that college students tend to get essentially the same score if they take the test twice, 2 months apart. However, when a reviewer examines the sample questionnaire items included in the article, it seems that they relate more to whether a person is sociable, outgoing, and fun-loving than to whether an individual is impulsive. Dr. Delmonte's questionnaire may lack:

• A)test-retest reliability.
• B)objectivity.
• C)validity.
• D)interrater reliability.
