You no doubt know the difference between a pop test and a credible psychological test. Serious thinking and work goes into developing a credible test. One vital component is the test’s reliability. That means this measure is one you can rely on. Reliability is not just crucial for tests. Think of the other measures you rely on for people assessments and decisions. Performance ratings, 360’s, staff surveys, team building personality assessments. If reliability is fundamental, how do we know if the measures we’re looking at are ones we can rely on? How credible is your advice and decisions if based on the shaky ground of unreliable measures? 
 

📢 Why attend?
The measures you use, often for high-stakes decisions about people, rest on the assumption of reliability.  Duncan gives you the opportunity to check your assumptions, and to make the changes that will make your measures more useful and your decisions more credible.
