Cohen's kappa value interpretation: A value of 0.75 indicates what level of agreement?

• A. Slight
• B. Moderate
• C. Substantial
• D. Almost perfect

Answer: (C)

Cohen's kappa measures how much two raters agree beyond what would be expected by chance. It ranges from -1 to 1, with higher values indicating stronger agreement after accounting for chance. A value of 0.75 sits in the substantial range on the commonly used interpretation scale (roughly 0.61 to 0.80). This means the raters agree far above chance levels and do so consistently, though there is still some disagreement left. In practical terms, you can trust the ratings as fairly reliable, but not perfect.
