Split-half reliability is a method to measure a test how reliable it is to conduct research.In split-half reliability, the test is split into two parts and then both the parts of the test is given to one group of subjects at the same time. The scores of the test from both parts are then correlated. If a test is reliable it will have a high correlation showing that subjects would perform similarly on both the halves of the test.The split-half test measures internal consistency. So, therefore, from the above-given options, option A is correct. The assessment has poor internal consistency.
