According to what we understand about external validity, "the quality of a research is related to generalizability of the result and thereby to the testing and increasing the validity or trustworthiness of the research." (Golafshani, 603) Trustworthiness as a measure of reliability must somehow be testable in order to be regarded as verifiable. This is a complex challenge where qualitative studies are concerned. However, with respect to the interview, it might also be appropriate to construct a preliminary likert scale survey as a way of creating numerical representations which can be tested objectively or empirically for consistency across interview subjects.
