Reliability of Mechanical Maintenance Performance Measures

Published Date: February 1, 1992
A fundamental requirement in the development and administration of performance measures is that such assessments should result in reliable scores that accurately indicate a person's level of proficiency. This research memorandum examines the reliability of two performance measures of mechanical maintenance developed for the Marine Corps Job Performance Measurement project: hands-on performance tests and job knowledge tests. Multiple estimates of reliability were computed, and the consistency of test administrators in scoring hands-on performance was specifically examined.
