It is possible for an interview procedure to be very reliable but invalid. Reliability refers to the consistency and stability of the procedure, whereas validity refers to the extent to which the procedure measures what it is intended to measure. It is possible for an interview procedure to consistently produce the same results, making it reliable, but not actually measure the intended construct accurately, making it invalid. Option B is incorrect because a valid interview procedure may produce variable results, as long as it is measuring the intended construct accurately. Option D is incorrect because validity is more important than reliability in determining the accuracy of the results.
