Note. Koo and Li (2016): below .50 poor, .50–.75 moderate, .75–.90 good, above .90 excellent. ICC(2,1) is the usual choice for inter-rater reliability with raters sampled from a larger population.

Interpretation

Using a two-way random-effects model for absolute agreement, reliability is moderate, ICC(2,1) = .745.

ICC(2,1) = .75, 95% CI [.60, .84], F(59, 118) = 11.88, p < .001.

What is the intraclass correlation (ICC)?

The intraclass correlation coefficient measures the reliability of continuous ratings from several raters, or of repeated measurements. All six forms are reported so you can choose the one that matches your design.

When to use the intraclass correlation (ICC)

Use the ICC for continuous ratings by several raters, or test-retest reliability. Choose the form: one-way if each subject has different raters, two-way random if raters are a sample, two-way mixed if these raters are the only ones of interest.

How to set up your data

One row per subject and one column per rater or occasion.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter your data. Paste columns from Excel, Google Sheets or SPSS with variable names in the first row, or upload a CSV or Excel file. The example data shows the expected layout.
  2. Choose the variables. Select the rater or occasion columns.
  3. Read the results. Results update automatically. Read the plain-English interpretation, then use Copy table to paste APA-style tables into Word and Copy for the results sentence.

Frequently asked questions

Which ICC should I use?

For inter-rater reliability with raters drawn from a larger pool, ICC(2,1) for absolute agreement is the usual choice. Use ICC(3,1) when these raters are the only ones of interest.

How is ICC interpreted?

Koo and Li (2016): below .50 poor, .50–.75 moderate, .75–.90 good and above .90 excellent.

Single or average measures?

Use single measures if one rater’s score will be used in practice, and average measures if the mean of all raters will be used.
