According to Akib, Erwin

dan Ghafar Najib Abdul
(2015:64) the reliability
refers to the consistency
of test results.
 According to Akib, Erwin dan Ghafar Najib Abdul
(2015:64), types of reliability are:

1.Test-Retest Reliability, you must administer a

test form to a single group of examinees on two
separate occasions

2.Parallel Forms Reliability, Parallel forms

reliability is estimated by administering both
forms of the exam to the same group of
examinees.

3.Decision Consistency, It is the reliability of this

classification decision that is estimated in decision
consistency reliability.

4.Internal Consistency, measure of reliability is

frequently used for norm referencedtests (NRTs)

5. Interrater Reliability, Interrater reliability

provides ameasure of the dependability or
consistency of scores that might be expected

raters.
1. “Interrater reliability” is the consistency of the scores awarded by different
raters to the same responses (essays, performance samples, etc.).
TYPES
2. Alternate-forms reliability is the consistency of test takers’ scores across
OF different editions of the test, containing different questions or problems
testing the same types of knowledge or skills at the same difficulty level.
RELIABILITY
3. Internal consistency is the consistency of test takers’ performance on
different questions or problems in the same edition of the test.

4. The reliability of those decisions or classifications will depend on the

amount of inconsistency in the scores

According to Middleton,Fiona (2019), types

of reliability are:

1. Test-retest reliability measures the

consistency of results when you repeat the
same test on the same sample at a different
point in time.

2. Interrater reliability (also called

interobserver reliability) measures the
degree of agreement between different
people observing or assessing the same
thing.

3. Parallel forms reliability measures the

correlation between two equivalent versions
of a test.

4. Internal consistency assesses the

correlation between multiple items in a test
that are intended to measure the same
construct.
