reliability studies

Reliability studies assess how consistently a test or measurement yields similar results under the same conditions. In the context of general knowledge, this means evaluating whether different people answering the same quiz questions would achieve consistent scores. For example, if two groups take a general knowledge test, a reliable test would show similar results for both groups, indicating that the test measures knowledge effectively. These studies help ensure that the assessments we use truly reflect a person's understanding without being influenced by external factors or random chance.
