True or False Quiz on Reliability Testing
True or False Quiz on Reliability Testing
1. Reliability is about how dependable and consistent test results are across different times or situations.
2. Test-retest reliability involves giving the same test to a different group of people each time.
3. In the test-retest method, the time gap between the two tests should be short to ensure results aren't affected by
memory.
4. A high correlation between first and second test scores suggests good test-retest reliability.
5. Split-half reliability checks if two different tests measure the same concept equally.
6. In the split-half method, the test can be divided into odd and even-numbered questions to compare consistency.
7. A high Pearson correlation coefficient indicates a lack of reliability in the test.
8. Internal consistency is measured by examining how well each part of the test measures a different concept.
9. Cronbach’s Alpha is a statistic used to measure internal consistency.
10. A Cronbach’s Alpha score closer to 1 means the test items are closely related and have good internal consistency.
Answer Key
1. True
2. False (The same group of people takes the test twice in test-retest reliability.)
3. False (The time gap should be long enough to prevent memory effects, not necessarily short.)
4. True
5. False (Split-half reliability checks if two halves of the same test give similar results.)
6. True
7. False (A high Pearson correlation indicates good reliability.)
8. False (Internal consistency checks if all parts of the test measure the same concept.)
9. True
10. True
