CSFI Norms,
Reliability, &Validity
Norms:
The norm group has continued to expand over the years and now
we have 15,000 students representing research universities,
state universities, community colleges and private colleges.
The mean scores for these norm groups have not varied more
than 1/4 of 1% during the last eight years. Culture diversity
studies were modeled after the diversity found in California
college students. Checks over the last few years indicate
initial footprints have been maintained in the growing norm
group.
Reliability:
Coefficient alpha and test-retest studies indicate
coefficients of .91 which are at a very acceptable level.
Validity:
Validity studies both concurrent and predictive with a variety
of students indicate coefficients of from -.30 to -.50, very
desirable results for self-reporting instruments. (Negative
signs indicate smaller scores represent greater success).
Coefficients were drawn between test scores and earned GPA.
