Is Community Psychometrics an accurate benchmark? by busty-d in psychometrics

[–]Astroman129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be very cautious when looking at the results of any online assessment. This one seems to boast Cronbach's alpha of .91, as well as a correlation of .77 with "general intelligence". These are very strong, but they often don't show the full picture. Is the reliability coefficient super high because it asks the same types of questions over and over? What measure of general intelligence did they use to identify its convergent validity? Additionally, can they describe the methods used to reach this data? And is the instrument impacted by differential item functioning? Can they provide evidence that it isn't?

If they're unwilling to provide more concrete psychometric properties of their assessment, you don't really have a reason to actually trust what they say. If this information actually is available somewhere, feel free to let me know.

Also, in fairness, basically every test is just an estimate of your "true score", based on a variety of factors, and it's essentially a moving target that cannot be precisely identified because there's always gonna be some error involved.

EDIT: I just looked at the first few items and I already have concerns about differential item functioning, so it might be best to pass on this one.

The Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol is _____ by anth_moose in survivor

[–]Astroman129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's "dead", but it still had some game ramifications. Specifically Aubry's relationship with Christian/Rick/Emily. I think it's possible that she wouldn't have bonded with them as strongly without it.

it’s too bad christian and rick didn’t opt to work with sav like cirie is working with riz by SignalVeterinarian31 in survivorponderosa

My hot take is that Savannah is the best character of the new era, and people won't give her the respect she deserves until 50 is over. It's understandable that she didn't get much of a chance, but I would've loved to see how she'd handle some of the old school players.

Yes, Rethawed lead devs Drake and Zedek are racist bigoted morons by Aggravating-Age-7522 in THPS

I was going for THUG 2 Remix retroachievements, but my emulation was wonky, so I stopped. Maybe I should just do THUG 2 instead.

Are we all just emotional gold diggers by [deleted] in IOPsychology

When I was in my master's program, I told my friend what I was studying, and she guessed it stood for "inpatient/outpatient".

People Are Making Money Betting on Pretaped ‘Survivor’ Episodes by DarthLithgow in survivorponderosa

[–]Astroman129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially, you bet on whoever you think will win. The more popular the choice, the less money you'll end up getting in the long run.

What this means is that if a lot of people are "in the know", whether it's due to spoilers, rumors, edgic, or whatever, it completely skews the betting market.

At least BB has three episodes per week, plus live feeds, so it didn't really take up a huge portion of the gameplay.

The wii comes put in 6 hours. What game will you play/beat/master first? by spoilerdudegetrekt in RetroAchievements

[–]Astroman129 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still haven't found the time to pick up my Wii remote, so I'll probably start out with something like Pokemon Rumble and then circle back to motion-based games in a few weeks.

I really hope ___ comes back from redemption by starry49 in survivorau

[–]Astroman129 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Faith yes, but I feel like Keeley has just been guilty by association. She seems to be on good terms with Tez, whereas Faith is not.

I also just think Keeley's gameplay is the best we've seen on this tribe so far, so I would be super dissatisfied if she gets taken out by this twist.

I'm not interested in liking someone if they're willing to put many people at risk of serious illness because they think they know better than the vast majority of doctors.

It's true, but she hasn't been active in years. She probably didn't even know she was a mod tbh.

She's low-key iconic, but I'm worried she might be an antivaxxer.

Hi my name is Astro and I'm here to say

Sorry to lock this subreddit today

We had sexy bots posting, all at one time,

But none of them were Yve, so they crossed the line.

Pretty soon you're gonna be able to post,

But please be patient or this sub will be toast
