Answer to Question 1

Because reliability is a measure of consistency, individuals should receive the same score, or close to the same score, each time they take a test, on each half of a test, or on alternate forms of the test. Thus, we would expect the correlation coefficient to be positive, indicating consistency or similar scores. If the correlation were negative, this would not indicate consistency.

Answer to Question 2

True
