Inter-rater reliability: relationship between the judgements that atleast 2 raters make independently about a phenomenon. [2observers/judges agree]; ex: from baseball, 3rd base umpire may or may not agree with the home plate umpire as to whether a line driver down the left field line in fair or soul. Test-retest reliability: extent to which people being observed twice or taking the same test twice score in same way. This reliability makes sense only if the people don"t change between testing. Some may give same test twice or different tests both times. Alternate form reliability: extent to which scores on 2 forms of test are consistent. Internal consistency reliability: extent to which the items on a test are related to one another.
