MERINO-SOTO, César. Perception of item clarity: Comparison of judgments between students and expertjudges. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1469-1477. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14239120615.

The aim of this preliminary study is to assess the perceived difficulty of the items of a personality questionnaire in two groups of participants: university students and teachers (expert-judges). As part of content validity, it examines the degree of readability of the items, usually evaluated by expert judges; however, contributions from the potential examinees have not been previously examined. The sample consisted of two groups: students and teachers identified as expert judges. Independently, both groups were asked their opinions on the readability or clarity of the items in an EPQR test (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised). The results demonstrated a significant difference in the percentage of items identified as unreadable and agreement between the two groups was mostly low. These results point to the inclusion of examinees in assessing the readability of items contained in standardized forms, and the potential increase in the construction of irrelevant variance if the process does not include the active participation of those filling out the form or taking the test.
