Tests & Measures: Test Validity/Reliability

Finding out about a Test's Reliability & Validity

When you select a test for your research papers, you will often need to provide some information on a test's reliability and validity as an effective screening tool. 

 

There are a few ways to find out about a test's validity and reliability: 

  • Many of the books that have tests & measures will include brief sections on the reliability/validity of the tests that they describe.
     
  • In addition, you can also search for journal articles that discuss and describe tests in order to assess your chosen test's reliability & validity.

  • ETS Test Link indexes and annotates over 25,000 tests and measures.Other information includes publication date, author, publisher, availability contact information, and acronyms.
