What type of scale is used to measure the deficit warranting the use of an RPE scale?

A. True/False
B. Open-ended
C. MCQ
D. RPE

Answer :

Final answer:

The RPE Scale, used to measure exercise intensity, does not fit traditional question formats but is a self-assessment tool, specifically the Borg Scale. The MMPI, in contrast, is an example of an assessment that uses true/false questions.

Explanation:

The type of scale used to measure the deficit warranting the use of an RPE (Rating of Perceived Exertion) scale is not among the traditional types of question formats like True/False, Open-ended, MCQ, or similar test item types. The RPE scale itself is a self-assessment tool used during exercise to estimate the intensity of the work being performed. This scale, often referred to as the Borg Scale, ranges from 6 to 20. It does not fit neatly into the categories of True/False, MCQ, etc., as it is a rating scale for subjective assessment of physical exertion and not a question with a discrete answer.

An example of a personality assessment that employs a series of true/false questions, to provide a point of contrast, is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). The MMPI is a well-known psychological assessment tool composed of a series of statements to which individuals respond True or False, in order to measure various psychological conditions.
