Consistance interne. La technique de validation est alors la suivante: on constitue deux sous-groupes de sujets, le premier formé des sujets qui ont les notes les meilleures, le second par ceux qui ont les notes les plus basses. En examinant les résultats des deux groupes à chaque item, on retient comme items valides ceux qui présentent une corrélation suffisamment élevée avec la note idéale au test. 1, record 17, French, - consistance%20interne
