o Do the test items differentiate among individuals? Check the D index or item total correlations for all questions.
o Do the test scores vary, or does everyone get approximately the same score?
o Are any of the items more difficult for a certain group of respondents, such as women or minorities?
o Are the test instructions for the administrator and respondent are clear and easy to follow?
o Do respondents react to the test favorably and cooperatively?
