What refers to the consistency of scores?
Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure. 1 A test is considered reliable if we get the same result repeatedly. For example, if a test is designed to measure a trait (such as introversion), then each time the test is administered to a subject, the results should be approximately the same.
What is the consistency of a test?
A consistent test is one for which the power of the test for a fixed untrue hypothesis increases to one as the number of data items increases.
What test property is described as to the consistency of scores obtained by the same people when reexamined with the same test on different occasions?
The reliability of an assessment instrument like the DECA-P2 is defined as “the consistency of scores obtained by the same person when reexamined with the same test on different occasions, or with different sets of equiva- lent items, or under other variable examining conditions” (Anastasi, 1988, p. 102).
What is the measure of the consistency of a test or research results?
Test-retest reliability measures the consistency of results when you repeat the same test on the same sample at a different point in time. You use it when you are measuring something that you expect to stay constant in your sample.
