The aim of this work is to compare the results obtained when experts score the degree of suitability item-dimension on the traditional 3-point rating scales with the results obtained using, alternatively, 5-point ones. 105 participants valued, on 5-point rating scales, the fitness item-dimension of 31 items to 7 dimensions that composed a questionnaire to measure satisfaction with the training received. These marks were also transformed into 3-point rating scales. Comparison between Osterlind indexes calculated using scores from 5 and 3-point rating scales shows that the new propose is more conservative than the classic procedure; i.e., items considered adequate using 3-point rating scales were removed using 5-point rating scales. 2013 artículo científico 1578-908X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=344033718007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3440 Acción Psicológica application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia Acción Psicológica (España) Num.2 Vol.10
