John and Nina are looking for interrater reliability, which measures the degree to which different raters or evaluators would give consistent ratings or scores for the same behavior or performance. Validity refers to whether the measure is actually measuring what it is intended to measure. Test-retest reliability measures consistency over time. Specificity refers to how well the measure distinguishes between different aspects of performance. Accountability refers to how well the results are communicated and used to make decisions or take action.
