Which psychometric property conducts the outcome measure on a group of people and analyze the intra-subject correlation between items?
Internal consistency
Which psychometric property uses statistical analysis of Chronbach alpha? What is the ideal?
Internal consistency
0.7-0.9
If it’s too low it’s not consistent enough to cover what you’re trying to test
If it’s too high the items are too similar.
Test-retest
*Tells you about the test
Consistency of the test when given to a person, unchanged in outcome, on two different occasions
(Taking a test on Mon then on Wed)

Which psychometric properties uses ICC (continuous) or Kappa (nominal)?
What number is preferred?
Test-retest
Intra-rater
Inter-rater
Close to 1 as possible!
> 0.80 excellent agreement
0.60 substantial agreement
0.40 moderate agreement
<0.39 poor agreement
What does a state of close to 1 indicate with test-retest?
Person had a very similar score as compared to when they took it originally.
Far away from 1 indicates the person had a very different score when they originally took it.
Intra-rater
*Tells you about the tester
Consistency of raters compared to themselves, on two different occasions.
How consistent is the tester to themselves?

Intra-rater
Which psychometric property is it if several PTs give the test to the same people at different time and the scores compared to their own scores to look for consistency?
Intra-rater
Inter-rater
*Tells you about the tester
Consistency of raters compared to each other
What psychometric property is it if multiple PTs were to admin a test and their scores are consistent between each other?

Which psychometric property is it when PTs measure the same participants and their scores are compared?
