The comprehension section of the Nelson-Denny Reading Test (NDRT) is widely used to assess the reading comprehension skills of adolescents and adults in the United States. In this study, the authors explored the content validity of the NDRT Comprehension Test (Forms G and H) by asking university students (with and without at-risk status for learning disorders) to answer the multiple-choice comprehension questions without reading the passages. Overall accuracy rates were well above chance for both NDRT forms and both groups of students. These results raise serious questions about the validity of the NDRT and its use in the identification of reading disabilities.
纳尔逊-丹尼阅读测试（Nelson-Denny Reading Test，简称 NDRT）的理解部分在美国被广泛用于评估青少年和成年人的阅读理解能力。在这项研究中，作者通过让大学生（有或没有学习障碍风险的）在不阅读文章的情况下回答多项选择题，来探讨 NDRT 阅读理解测试（形式 G 和 H）的内容效度。两种 NDRT 形式和两组学生的整体准确率都远高于随机水平。这些结果对 NDRT 的有效性及其在阅读障碍识别中的应用提出了严重质疑。
