Highly Reliable Competency Assessment Test Results

Highly reliable competency assessment test results

The X-ray images for the tests are handpicked based on scientific criteria and go through a series of pre-tests in order to adhere to the highest standards. This results in excellent reliability coefficients with high Cronbach’s Alpha (>.85) and split-half values (>.85) which guarantee highly reliable test results.

Tool for Supervision and Benchmarking
