Factors | Assessments |
|---|---|
Sufficiency Items belonging to the same category are sufficient to obtain its measurement. | The items are not sufficient to measure the dimension/category.

The items are not sufficient |
Clarity The item is easily understood, i.e., its syntax and semantics are adequate. | The item is not clear. The item requires a lot of modification or a very large modification in the use of words in terms of their meaning or their order. A very specific modification of some terms is required. The item is clear, has adequate syntax and semantics. |
Coherence The item has a logical relationship with the dimension or indicator it is measuring. | The item has no logical relationship to the dimension/category it is measuring. The item has a tangential relationship to the dimension/category it is measuring. The item has a moderate relationship to the dimension/category it is measuring. The item is completely related to the dimension/category it is measuring. |
Relevance The item is essential or important, i.e., it should be included. | The item can be removed without affecting the measurement of the dimension/category. The item has some relevance, but another may be including what it measures. The item is relatively important. The item is very relevant and should be included. |
