Standardization of group testing officer's assessment

Abstract

This is the first investigation that has been made to find out the degree of standardization of Group Testing Officer's assessment. The object of this project was to find out the exact degree of reliability and comparability of markings that has been achieved in the G.T.O. field and express them quantitatively. An experiment was accordingly designed and carried out at two places N and S. The main finding is that there exists a sufficiently high order of reliability between the assessments of different Group Testing Officers, the co-efficient of reliability being 0.68, 0.68 and 0.75 at N and 0.80, 0.85 and 0.93 at S.
