Dr. Renk is testing split-half reliability by dividing the participants into two groups and comparing their scores on the odd and even questions. This measures the consistency or reliability of the test by comparing how well the two halves of the test yield similar results. Correlation, test-retest, and criterion are other types of reliability tests.
