Bill and Nancy are interested in knowing if different supervisors would rate the same behavior the same way, thus they are concerned with interrater reliability. Validity refers to whether the measure is actually measuring what it's supposed to measure. Test-retest reliability refers to how consistent the results are over time. Specificity refers to the degree to which a measure focuses on a specific aspect of performance, such as a particular skill or behavior. Accountability refers to the extent to which individuals or organizations are responsible for their actions and decisions.
