Test-Retest Reliability

The degree to which a test yields the same results when it is given more than once to the same person. Test-retest reliability can be evaluated by correlating a person’s score on a given test with the same person’s score on the same test taken at a later time. The higher the correlation between the two scores (as expressed in terms of a correlation coefficient) the more reliable it is.
