Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / evaluation of a test
English term or phrase: the worth of more or less than this amount
Once an examiner learns how much data has been found in agreement from non-matches (or to use other words how much is not enough), they can evaluate the worth of more or less than this amount

Help me phrase this expression clearly, please...

la signification d'une valeur supérieure ou inférieure
Explanation:
L'anglais est à peine compréhensible. Si tu peux nous dire ce que le test mesure exactement, ce serait plus facile (peut-être). J'ai du mal à comprendre de quoi il s'agit.

Je me demande s\'il ne s\'agit pas d\'un test de fiabilité (reliability) dans lequel on compare des réponses pour deux questions similaires (hence the reference to non-matches)?

Dans ce cas, une valeur acceptable pour le pourcentage de réponses concordantes aurait été établie. L\'investigateur peut donc voir si le pourcentage réel de concordance est plus haut ou plus bas que cette valeur \"cible\" et former une opinion sur la fiabilité du test.

... or whatever similar words you want to use for the pluses and minuses. It looks to me like each plus or minus has some kind of value or significance around the amount....
