The reading the mind in the eyes test: test-retest reliability of a Swedish version
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test is a widely used facial affect recognition test. The present study aimed to provide Swedish nonpatient reference values, examine test-retest reliability, and to elucidate strengths and weaknesses of the instrument. METHODS: A Swedish version of the test was completed by 158 university students. Fifty-eight participants completed the test twice, 3 weeks apart. The Bland Altman method was used to examine the test-retest reliability. RESULTS: Distribution of responses of the 158 participants is detailed and compared with the English version. The limits of agreement was +/-4.3. CONCLUSIONS: A test score variation in the range of +/-4 (out of 24 possible) is to be expected for the same individual. When the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test is used, one has to take into account that an obtained test score must be regarded as an approximation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
