Appendix A: Standardization, Reliability, and Validity Tables

Table A.26. Correlations between EQ-i 2.0 and Watson-Glaser II Critical Thinking Appraisal

The following table illustrates correlations between the EQ-i 2.0 Total EI score, composite scales, and subscales, and the Watson-Glaser II Critical Thinking Appraisal. Values range from -1.00 to +1.00; values close to -1.00 represent an inverse relationship between scores on the two scales, values close to +1.00 represent a direct relationship, and values close to zero represent a lack of a relationship. For most Watson-Glaser II scales (see Standardization, Reliability, and Validity), the correlations close to zero found between most of the Watson-Glaser II scales (see Standardization, Reliability, and Validity) and the EQ-i 2.0 support the validity of the EQ-i 2.0.
