Test Development Project: Part 1
For the next few weeks, you will be working on a test development project. The goal of this project is to demonstrate your understanding and application of concepts related to the technical aspects of tests and assessment by creating a new (hypothetical) test.
This week, you will begin by choosing a psychological characteristic on which people differ. A simple, narrow characteristic works best for this assignment. You may want to look ahead to the next two weeks as you will be continuing the project based on your work this week.
Conduct a brief literature review of the psychological characteristic you chose, learning more about it and how it has been defined and measured in the past. Then, answer the following questions about your test. You may use this template to help organize your paper:

Test Topic:
What is the name of your test?
What is your test designed to measure? Be specific.
How do you define the construct being measured? Remember, that to create a test the construct should be defined in ways that can be quantified and measured.
What is the purpose of your test? What real-world behavior will it predict?
Background:
How has your construct been tested in the past? Include a focused review of the literature in this area, discussing information on specific measures.
Is there a need for your test? How will your test benefit society? How will your test be better or not better than previous tests.
Conceptualization:
What is the content of your test? Explain why it is covering this content.
Who are the proposed test-users? Be specific.
In what setting(s) will the test be used? Be specific.
Who are the proposed test-takers?
What cultural factors might affect test-taker response?
Be sure to respond to each question completely and provide your reasoning to demonstrate you understand the material. Be sure to appropriately give credit to your sources (e.g., APA style citations and references).

Please use the Hypothetical test file to guide you to continue with creating and working on the test development project. Use the same references from that file as well
