The Reliability of a Profile.
Yarnold, Paul R.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v44 n1 p49-59 Spr 1984
Unreliable profiles impose the difficulty that ordinal and interval relations among the individual's scores become uncertain or unstable. A profile reliability coefficient is derived to estimate the relative expected extent of this ordinal and interval "inversion" for any profile of K measures. (Author/DWH)
