Individual Inconsistency: Implications for Test Reliability and Behavioral Predictability.

Whitely, Susan E.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v2 n4 p571-79 Fall 1979

Two sources of inconsistency were separated by reanalyzing data from a major study on short-term consistency. Little evidence was found for generalizability or behavioral predictability. Results supported the assumption that measurement error from short-term fluctuations is not due to systematic individual differences in response consistency. (Author/MH)
