Reliability of NNAT2

Reliability is the degree to which an assessment tool produces stable and consistent results.

 

Types of Reliability

 

 

  1. Test-retest reliability is a measure of reliability obtained by administering the same test twice over a period of time to a group of individuals to evaluate the test for stability over time. 

     

  2. Parallel forms reliability is a measure of reliability obtained by administering different versions of an assessment tool to the same group of individuals to evaluate the consistency of results across alternate versions. 

     

3.  Inter-rater reliability is a measure of reliability used to assess the degree to which different judges or raters agree in their assessment decisions. 

 

4.  Internal consistency reliability is a measure of reliability used to evaluate the degree to which different test items that search the same construct produce similar results.
