Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The consistency of scores obtained by a person when he or she is retested on the identical test or an equivalent version is a measure of the reliability of the test. Reliability is the extent to which a test yields consistent and stable results over time and across different administrations. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Option B, construct validity, refers to the degree to which a test measures the underlying construct it is intended to measure. Option C, criterion-related reliability, is a type of reliability that measures the extent to which test scores are related to some criterion of interest. Option D, content validity, refers to the degree to which a test assesses the relevant content or subject matter it is supposed to measure. Option E, validity, refers to the extent to which a test measures what it is intended to measure. While validity and reliability are related concepts, they are not interchangeable.
