What are the challenges of assessing the reliability of ipsative scales?

Cronbach's alpha (Cronbach 1951) assesses the reliability of a summative rating (Likert 1932) scale composed of the variables (called items) specified. The set ... Jun 7, 2017 ... The reliability of [the Nature of Solutions and Solubility—Diagnostic Instrument] was represented by using the Cronbach alpha coefficient. Cronbach's alpha range per subscale: 1.
