VALIDITY OF NIPS DRIVING APTITUDE TEST BATTERIES (III) - CHANGE OF TEST SCORES CAUSED BY RETESTING

THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESENT STUDY WAS TO MEASURE THE DEVIATION OF THE TEST SCORES CAUSED BY THE RETESTING. THE SECOND TEST WAS ADMINISTERED TO THE SUBJECTS AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE FIRST TEST. THE PRIMARY AND THE SECOND TESTS WERE THE SAME TESTS WHICH WERE CALLED THE NIPS DATB 66, AND WERE COMPRISED OF A COMPLETE TEST (66-1) AND AN ABBREVIATED ONE (66-2). THE RESULTS WERE AS FOLLOWS: (1) CORRELATION COEFFICIENT BETWEEN THE PRIMARY TEST SCORES AND THE SECOND TEST SCORES WAS 0.390 OR OVER FOR THE WHOLE INDICES WHICH WERE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT. ALTHOUGH THE ABBREVIATED TEST (66-2) INDICATED A LOW CORRELATION COEFFICIENT IN A PREESTIMATED VALUE OF ACCIDENT TENDENCY, A HIGH COEFFICIENT WAS OBTAINED FOR THE FIVE INDICATORS OF PERSONALITY TRAITS, WHICH WERE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT, (2) DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE RETESTING SCORES AND THE FIRST TEST SCORES WERE NOT SIGNIFICANT, AND (3) RATIO OF THE INCREASED SCORES BY RETESTING, NAMELY, THE EFFECT OF PRACTICE, WAS 15.2% FOR THE TEST 66-1, AND 23.8% FOR THE TEST 66-2. /AUTHOR/
