Split-half and test-retest hand test reliabilities for pathological samples

Abstract

Computed split-half and test-retest reliabilities for some major Hand Test scoring categories for a group of 100 Ss of mixed psychopathology. All correlations were significant; the rs ranged from "modest" to "high.' Withdrawal, the most serious of all indices of psychopathology, showed the most consistency across both split-half and test-retest formats. Results were interpreted as lending credence to Hand Test rationale. Reliabilities appear high enough to justify the clinical use of the technique.
