Conclusion
A significant factor in the creation of a scale is that it measures the construct it was
intended. The scale must provide valid and reliable results. Moreover, the scale must be easy to
administer by those administering the test and straightforwardly understood by test takers,
(Cohen, Swerdlik, & Sturman, 2013). Assessments are often used to challenge a persons
knowledge. The illustration established by this paper designs a construct that samples working
memory when calculating payroll. Once reliability and validity are established, the results may
be analyzed and generalized to particular populations. This paper has inspected in detail the norm
in the instrument, reliability measures, the number of persons the test was given too, the
personalities of the people to whom the instrument was generalized, how validity was
established, methods used for the selection, cut-off scores, and how item selection was evaluated.
