Dr. Sparks is concerned with the reliability of the intelligence test he designed, as inconsistent scores suggest that the test may not be consistently measuring the same construct each time it is administered. Validity would be a concern if the test was not measuring what it was intended to measure, and falsifiability is not relevant to this situation. Self-report measures refer to a different type of psychological testing and are not relevant to an intelligence test designed by Dr. Sparks.
