DISCUSSION
A. TEST INSTRUMENTS
The test technique is a fact that humans in their lives differ from one individual to another. No two individuals are exactly the same, both physically and psychologically.
With these individual differences, it is necessary to create tools to diagnose or measure individual conditions, and these measuring devices are commonly called tests. With that measuring device in the form of the test, people will be able to find out the difference between individuals. Because there are different psychic aspects that can distinguish one individual from another, then various kinds of tests arise.
1. DEFINITION OF THE TEST
Literally, the word "test" comes from Old French: testum with the meaning: "plate for setting aside precious metals, in English it is written with test which in Indonesian is translated as "test", "exam", or "trial". Â Testing means when it is carried out or when the measurement and assessment takes place. The tester is the person who carries out the test or test maker. Testee is the party subject to the test (test participant).
In terms of terms, according to Anne Anastasi in her writing entitled Psychological Testing, what is meant by a test is a measuring device that has objective standards so that it can be used widely, and can actually be used to measure and compare the psychological state or behavior of individuals.
