Note: These statistics are from Version 2.0.
This refers to the degree to which each dimension of the
questionnaire is measuring one scale and is therefore independent
of the other dimensions in the questionnaire. Cronbach's Alpha
is a test that calculates the internal reliability of each
dimension. The higher the value of Cronbach's Alpha, the more
internally consistent the dimension is. The Alpha values for
the Thinking Styles dimensions are shown below.
Internal reliability is complicated by the fact that Thinking
Styles is a personality 'trait' instrument rather than a personality
'type' instrument such as MBTI, and that each source trait
(or dimension label such as "Big Chunk") has a number
of "surface traits" or behaviours within it. So,
although the dimensions have been proven to be independent,
each dimension does in fact measure more than one behaviour.
