Abstract
The reliability of computer controlled and experimenter controlled administration of the Matching Familiar Figures Test was examined with a sample of 80 students ages 17-19 years. In order, internal consistencies for computer and experimenter controlled administration were .87 and .90 for response times and .44 and .59 for errors; test-retest correlations over one year were .78 and .82 for time scores and .74 and .60 for error scores. These data correspond with reliabilities reported by others. Computer controlled administration makes collective MFFT presentation possible and may contribute to research on the cognitive style reflection-impulsivity and instructional conditions.Keywords
