Validity evidence for the situational judgment test paradigm in emotional intelligence measurement

Validity evidence for the situational judgment test paradigm in emotional intelligence measurement.

To date, various measurement approaches have been proposed to assess emotional intelligence (EI). Recently, two new EI tests have been developed based on the situational judgment test (SJT) paradigm: the Situational Test of Emotional Understanding (STEU) and the Situational Test of Emotion Management (STEM). Initial attempts have been made to examine the construct-related validity of these new ...

Refining Situational Judgment Test Methods

Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) assess knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes. They present scenarios, which are based on real events, to be judged, understood, scaled, and interpreted by the examinee. These instruments have been used to evaluate cognitive theories and training programs, and to predict performance. This paper presents the argument that SJTs have potential to renew and reinv...

Validity Toward an Understanding of Situational Judgment Item Validity

Consensually scored situational judgment tests using Likert scale response formats can be substantially improved with respect to validity, Black-White mean differences, resistance to faking, and test length. This improvement is achieved with two simple adjustments. The first adjustment is controlling for elevation and scatter (Cronbach & Gleser, 1953). This adjustment substantially improves ite...

An Evaluation of the Construct Validity of Situational Judgment Tests

A Judgment Test for Measuring Intelligence

Intelligence By CYRIL BURT, M.A., D.Sc. Psychologists are often asked for a good test of intelligence to be used with adults. Of those at present available none is wholly satisfactory. The harder problems in the Terman-Binet scale sound too much like a teacher's crossquestioning in school : " If two pencils cost fivepence, how many pencils can you buy for fifty pence?"* On the other hand, the b...
