Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. Test bias refers to the differential validity of test scores for groups (e.g., age, education, culture, race, sex). Bias is a systematic error in the measurement process that differentially influences scores for identified groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why are most tests not considered culture-fair? Most tests tend to reflect what the dominant culture deems important.
Detailed explanation-3: -What does it mean to say that intelligence tests are culturally biased? Social class plays a big part in how children test // IQ tests on things learned, but not “street smarts"
Detailed explanation-4: -Validity refers to how well a test measures what it is purported to measure. Why is it necessary? While reliability is necessary, it alone is not sufficient. For a test to be reliable, it also needs to be valid.
