The Wonderlic Personnel Test (1983) was administered twice over a 3-week period under conditions in which the activity of the second test was experimentally manipulated. Data from 302 undergraduates were analyzed. The standard test-retest reliability coefficient, .872, was not significantly different from the coefficients obtained from three other groups that, on the second test, were each given specific instructions: (a) to reason out the answers (pure reassess condition); (b) to use reasoning, memory of their initial responses, or both (reassess and memory); or (c) to take an alternate form of the test (parallel). However, the standard test-retest reliability coefficient was higher, p less than .10, than the coefficient obtained from a condition (pure memory) in which subjects were instructed to duplicate their previous responses, using only memory. Although the subjects in the test-retest and combined reassess and memory conditions reported recalling previous answers for 20-25% of the items on the second test, it was concluded that conscious repetition of specific responses did not seriously inflate the estimate of test-retest reliability.
《旺德利克人员测试》（1983年版）在为期3周的时间内进行了两次测试，第二次测试的活动经过了实验性操控。对302名本科生的数据进行了分析。标准的重测信度系数为0.872，与其他三组在第二次测试时分别给出特定指示所得到的系数没有显著差异：（a）推理出答案（纯重新评估条件）；（b）运用推理、记忆最初的回答或两者兼用（重新评估和记忆）；或（c）采用测试的替代形式（平行测试）。然而，标准的重测信度系数比在一种条件（纯记忆）下得到的系数更高（p小于0.10），在该条件下，受试者被指示仅依靠记忆复制他们之前的回答。尽管在重测以及重新评估与记忆相结合的条件下，受试者报告称在第二次测试中能回忆起20%至25%题目的先前答案，但研究得出结论，有意识地重复特定回答并不会严重夸大重测信度的估计值。
