What is the difference between test–retest reliability and internal consistency of a psychological test?

What will be an ideal response?


Test–retest reliability occurs when individuals who take the test on different occasions have scores that are highly similar. Internal consistency, on the contrary, means that within the test itself (on a single administration), items that test similar constructs produce similar scores—individuals who score highly on some items in the set are likely to score highly on other items as well.
