Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The split-half method is not exclusively based on consistency or inconsistency of test content, rather it estimates reliability by comparing the scores of two halves of a test. Therefore, option A, B, and C can be eliminated. The two methods that do strictly define reliability in terms of content consistency are internal consistency and split-half, both of which are included in option D.
