One problem with giving two forms of the same test is that, despite the publisher's attempt to make them similar, there could be major differences. This problem is most closely associated with which type of reliability?
A) Test-retest
B) Alternate forms
C) Internal consistency
D) Odd-even
E) Kuder-Richardson

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This problem is most closely associated with alternate forms reliability, as it involves the potential for major differences between two forms of the same test that are intended to be similar. Test-retest reliability involves the consistency of scores on the same test taken at different times, internal consistency involves the consistency of scores across items within a single test, odd-even reliability involves the consistency of scores between odd-numbered and even-numbered items on a single test, and Kuder-Richardson reliability involves the consistency of scores on a test measuring a single construct.
