The data used for establishing the internal consistency of the instrument were single administration of copies of PRMPEAQ administered to 30 respondents made up of 18 more-experienced and 12 less-experienced principals in Edo State. Using data obtained, PRMPEAQ was subjected to test for internal consistency using Cronbach alpha which yielded coefficient value of 0.83.
