Test–retest was determined in <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 68 subjects aged 60–79 years via two independent examinations by clinical interviewers using kappa (sensitivity, specificity) for categorical and intraclass correlation (ICC) coefficients for dimensional measures.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Test–retest reliability was good for any mental disorder (<jats:italic>κ</jats:italic> = 0.63), major depression (<jats:italic>κ</jats:italic> = 0.55), anxiety (<jats:italic>κ</jats:italic> = 0.62, range = 0.30–0.78), substance (<jats:italic>κ</jats:italic> = 0.77, range = 0.71–0.82), obsessive‐compulsive disorder (<jats:italic>κ</jats:italic> = 1.00) and most core symptoms/syndromes (κ range = 0.48–1.00). Agreement for some disorders (i.e. somatoform/pain) attenuated, partly due to time lapse effects.
