Test-retest reliability
Test-retest reliability refers to the consistency of a test's results when administered to the same person at different times. In the context of general knowledge, if a person takes a general knowledge quiz today and scores a certain number of points, a high test-retest reliability would mean that, if they took the same quiz again in a few weeks, they would score similarly. This reliability indicates that the quiz accurately reflects a person's knowledge rather than being influenced by factors like memory lapses or test conditions. Consistent scores suggest that the test is a reliable measure of general knowledge.
