Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By comparing the scores on the odd-numbered questions with those on the even-numbered questions, Dr. Bronfman is testing the consistency or reliability of the test. If there is a high positive correlation between the two sets of scores, it would indicate that the test is measuring the abstract reasoning ability consistently, and therefore the test is reliable.
