MERINO SOTO, César; ALLEN, Ryan  y  DECKER, Scott. Within-group inter-rater agreement for the Bender Gestalt Visualmomor Test, second version (Bender - II). Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.2, pp.163-172. ISSN 1657-9267.

The present research evaluates the agreement inter-scorers for the Bender Gestalt Test Bender, 2nd version (Bender - II). This new version has shown satisfactory psychometric properties in the sample for standardization, and in further studies English samples, but no references in Hispanic population. The participants in this study were 173 preschool children between 4 and 5 years of age; the scorers were students of psychology. To evaluate the internal consistency and agreement inter-raters, we applied Pearson correlation coefficients and intraclass correlations (model 2). These coefficients were calculated for the total sample and for the upper and lower group sample in visual-motor performance, but with adjustment by the restriction of range. The results for the Copy and Remember scores indicate high internal consistency and agreement between raters in the total sample, but low and variable in the lower and upper groups, interacting with age. We discuss the effect of inter-rater variability, especially its impact on clinical decisions about low and high performance.
