Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interrater reliability refers to the extent to which different raters (in this case, the two psychologists) agree in their assessments of the same test responses. If they interpret the responses differently, it suggests that the test may lack interrater reliability, meaning that different raters may have different interpretations, leading to inconsistent results. Split-half reliability assesses consistency within the same test, test-retest reliability assesses consistency over time, and internal reliability assesses consistency of different items within the same test.
