Dr. Drive is testing a 10-question measure of achievement motivation. He notes that if his respondents agree with the first question, they tend to also agree with the other nine. Likewise, if his respondents disagree with the first question, they tend of disagree with the other nine. This is an indication of good reliability.

ANSWER: EQUIVALENT FORM RELIABILITY

EXPLANATION:

EQUIVALENT FORM RELIABILITY is also referred to as PARALLEL-FORM RELIABILITY.

EQUIVALENT FORM RELIABILITY refers to the measure of the reliability of a test/experiment based on the similar measurements or correlation between equivalent forms of a test. In other words, it's a testing method which uses two similar instruments to process the same or close measurements of a single object.

Therefore, since Dr. Drive is testing his respondents with 10 different questions and laying emphasis that the first question will determine the fate of other questions, elicts that the questions are having similar measurements (correlation), and thus check for good equivalent form reliability.

internal consistency reliability

Explanation: Reliability of a test or method explains or tells how consistently the test/method measures something under identical conditions. A reliable method of measurement gives identical results.

Dr. Drive's measure of achievement motivation is an indication of good internal consistency reliability which assesses the correlation between multiple items in a test that are intended to measure the same construct. It is a good way of assessing reliability when only one data set is available.

Since all the items in the test really do reflect the same thing, if his respondents agree with the first question, they tend to also agree with the other nine and same is true if they disagree with the first.

When responses to different items are in contrast with one another, then the test is often considered unreliable.
