Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consistency over time or across raters is an indication of reliability, which refers to the consistency or stability of scores generated by a selection tool. Validity, on the other hand, refers to the degree to which the selection tool accurately measures the construct it is intended to measure, while bias refers to the presence of systematic errors or unfairness in the selection process. Person-job fit and person-organization fit, are not directly related to the consistency or accuracy of a selection tool.
