Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC)?

  • To calculate the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of a measurement
  • To measure the level of agreement between two raters
  • To provide unstandardized estimates of measurement reliability in units of measure
  • To standardize estimates of measurement reliability without units (correct)

Which of the following is the recommended interpretation for an ICC value greater than 0.75?

  • Good reliability (correct)
  • Indicates the need to choose the Kappa statistic instead
  • Poor to moderate reliability
  • Best for clinical measurements

What is the key difference between the ICC and the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM)?

  • The ICC is more appropriate for clinical measurements, while the SEM is better for research purposes
  • The ICC is used to measure agreement between raters, while the SEM measures reliability
  • The ICC provides standardized estimates of reliability, while the SEM provides unstandardized estimates (correct)
  • The ICC is used for ordinal data, while the SEM is used for interval or ratio data
