Validity refers to whether a measure actually measures what it claims to measure. Height, measured in centimeters or millimeters, is not a valid measure of intelligence as there is no known theoretical or empirical link between the two concepts. While height measurement may have precision, reliability and accuracy, these are not relevant to the issue of validity.
