The purpose of this paper is to apply a quantitative index, the coefficient of homogeneity, to analyze ordinal rating data. Values of the coefficient of homogeneity are ranged from 0 to 1. The higher the value, the higher the internal consistency of the test or scale; the lower the value, the lower the internal consistency. Finally, the coefficient of homogeneity is applied to an example in which it is used as an internal consistency index for reliability analysis and as a starting point for factor analysis. This kind of index can be used as a basis of judgement if the test or scale is appropriate.
