Key Concepts

Reliability

Reliability refers to the consistency and stability of the outcomes produced by a test over time and across various administrations. A reliable test yields similar results under consistent conditions, ensuring that its measurements are dependable, though reliability does not necessarily guarantee that the test is measuring what it is intended to measure.

Standardization Sample

A standardization sample is a carefully selected group of individuals who represent the intended population for the test. This group is used to establish norms and benchmarks, allowing test scores to be interpreted by comparing an individual's performance to that of the representative sample.
