The degree of reliability within a test—the extent to which different parts of the same test yield the same results.

Split-Half Reliability

A measure of internal consistency, often ascertained by comparing responses on odd-numbered test items with responses on even-numbered test items and seeing if the scores for these responses are correlated.

Coefficient Alpha
