Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Validity is not concerned with consistency or reliability of test scores. Reliability is a separate concept that deals with the consistency or reproducibility of test scores over time or across different raters/scorers. Validity is concerned with whether a test measures what it is supposed to measure and whether there is evidence to support the intended interpretation of test scores for the intended purpose.
