Document Summary
Reliability the degree to which the measure is consistent. Test retest is measuring your forehead more than once. Interrater is getting someone else to measure your head. Internal consistency is using a ruler, iphone etc to measure. Face validity is the construct it fails to measure because intelligence and forehead size is not related to each other. It takes years for a drug to get tested but then has side effects on women, why: the cells used in the laboratory, the animals , clinical trials are all performed on men. Children have a different physiology than adults: research is done on them. Women need to be studied too, they can just assume that they are exactly like men. More women that men complain about not feeling right, lethargic when they get heart attacks, men just feel an elephant on their chest. Asprin to a healthy women is actually harmful but for men its okay.
