The Multidimensionality of Person Reliability: Implications for Interpreting Individual Test Item Responses.
Holden, Ronald R.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v45 n1 p119-30 Spr 1985

Results indicate person reliability may be a multidimensional concept, and that certain item consistency measures are confounded with psychopathology. (BS)
