Sample EGEL Plus Psicología Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the EGEL Plus Psicología exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A psychologist gives the same anxiety scale to a group twice, 3 weeks apart, and correlates the scores. What property is being estimated?
A.Internal consistency
B.Content validity
C.Test-retest reliability
D.Predictive validity
Explanation: Correlating scores from two administrations of the same test estimates test-retest reliability, the stability of scores over time. It suits traits expected to stay stable over the interval.
2What does Cronbach's alpha estimate?
A.Consistency among a scale's items
B.Agreement between two observers
C.Stability of scores over time
D.How well scores predict job performance
Explanation: Cronbach's alpha estimates internal consistency: how strongly the items of a scale covary. Values of about 0.70 or more are usually acceptable for research, with higher values expected for individual clinical decisions.
3While building a burnout scale for university students, a researcher asks eight experts to rate whether each item represents the construct. What type of evidence is this?
A.Concurrent validity
B.Test-retest reliability
C.Discriminant validity
D.Content validity
Explanation: Content validity asks whether the items adequately represent the domain being measured, usually through systematic expert judgment, which can be quantified with indices such as Aiken's V.
4An aptitude test given at hiring correlates 0.45 with supervisor ratings collected one year later. What kind of evidence does this provide?
A.Face validity
B.Predictive validity
C.Internal consistency
D.Content validity
Explanation: Predictive validity is a form of criterion validity in which test scores are related to a criterion measured later, such as future job performance.
5A new depression scale correlates 0.78 with the BDI-II and 0.08 with a vocabulary test. What do these results support?
A.Convergent and discriminant validity
B.Only test-retest reliability
C.Only face validity
D.Poor construct validity
Explanation: A high correlation with a measure of the same construct (convergent evidence) and a low correlation with an unrelated construct (discriminant evidence) together support construct validity.
6An intelligence test has a standard deviation of 15 and a reliability of 0.84. What is the standard error of measurement?
A.2.4
B.12.6
C.6.0
D.0.16
Explanation: SEM = SD × √(1 − reliability) = 15 × √0.16 = 15 × 0.4 = 6.0. It is used to build confidence intervals around an observed score.
7Why should a psychologist in Mexico prefer a test with norms from the Mexican population?
A.Foreign norms are always more precise
B.Norms only affect the price of the test
C.Norms are unnecessary if the test is reliable
D.Scores are compared with a similar group
Explanation: Norm-referenced scores compare a person with a standardization sample. If that sample differs in language, culture or schooling, the comparison can be biased, so locally standardized norms improve interpretation.
8In an item analysis, 95% of examinees answered an item correctly. How is the item's difficulty index (p) interpreted?
A.The item is very difficult
B.The item discriminates very well
C.The item is very easy
D.The item is invalid
Explanation: The difficulty index is the proportion of correct answers, so p = 0.95 means a very easy item. Very easy or very hard items contribute little to distinguishing between examinees.
9Which Wechsler scale is appropriate for assessing the intellectual functioning of a 10-year-old?
A.WAIS-IV
B.WPPSI-IV
C.WISC-V
D.The Wechsler Memory Scale
Explanation: The WISC-V covers ages 6 years 0 months to 16 years 11 months. The WPPSI-IV covers preschool ages and the WAIS-IV covers ages 16 to 90.
10A 68-year-old with memory complaints scores normally on the MMSE. Which screening test is more sensitive to mild cognitive impairment?
A.The Beck Depression Inventory
B.The MoCA
C.The House-Tree-Person test
D.The 16PF
Explanation: The MoCA includes more demanding executive, visuospatial and delayed recall tasks, so it detects mild cognitive impairment better than the MMSE, which has a ceiling effect in educated adults. Scores must be interpreted with schooling in mind.

EGEL Plus Psicología: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master psychometrics: reliability and validity types, the standard error of measurement, z- and T-scores, percentiles, confidence intervals and item analysis.
2Review DSM-5-TR duration and onset criteria (major depression, GAD, ADHD, acute stress versus PTSD, schizophrenia, prolonged grief) and the ethics of consent and confidentiality.
3Compare intervention models and their techniques: classical and operant conditioning, cognitive therapy, humanistic, psychodynamic and systemic approaches, plus exposure, shaping, token economies and motivational interviewing.
4Practice choosing statistical tests (t-test, ANOVA, chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Pearson), interpreting p-values, effect sizes and interactions, and recognizing qualitative designs.
5Practice Spanish reading comprehension and indirect writing for the transversal section, which this bank does not cover.
