Psychometric Properties of a Newly Online Work Aptitude Test: Faxtor’s Endurance and Speed Test

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of a new computer-based work aptitude test, named Faxtor's Endurance and Speed Test (F-EAST). Two phases of study were conducted to examine the reliability of the test and collect the validity evidence based on the relation to other variables. This study used quantitative research with repeated measures design for a total of 116 participants who participated in two studies (1=63, 54.3% and 2=53, 45.7%). Reliability was evaluated through Cronbach's alpha and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) with 95% CI, mean-rating (k=2) and absolute agreement, while validity evidence was collected through correlation with other tests that assess well-known work aptitude: Kraepelin Test and Pauli Test. The results shown that FEAST has adequate internal consistency (í µí»‚=0.751-0.987) and ICC (r=-0.220-0.925). The FEAST also has satisfactory correlation with the Pauli test (r = 0.113-0.635) and the Kraepelin test (r=0.054-0.578) in similar or identical aspects of measurement. The current study concluded that FEAST is a suitable test to measure work aptitude.
