Validity refers to the degree to which a test measures what it claims to measure. In order to understand which attributes are being measured by a test, one must examine the validity of the test. Consistency and reliability are important aspects of a test, but they do not necessarily indicate which attributes are being measured. Measurement error can impact validity, but it is not a measure of the attributes being tested.
