Question

test retest reliability is best described by which of the following? we determine if a test measures some future event. we determine if the test measures what it is supposed to. parts of the test are scores and these scores are compared. multiple administrations give similar scores.

Explanation:

• Option 1: Describes predictive validity (measuring future events), not test - retest reliability.
• Option 2: Describes construct validity (measuring what it should), not test - retest reliability.
• Option 3: Describes internal consistency (comparing parts of a test), not test - retest reliability.
• Option 4: Test - retest reliability is about giving the same test multiple times (multiple administrations) and getting similar scores to show consistency over time.

Answer:

D. Multiple administrations give similar scores.
