Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reliability refers to the consistency or repeatability of scores, while validity refers to the accuracy of the measurement in predicting something useful. Therefore, option B is correct, as it correctly pairs reliability with consistency and validity with predicting usefulness. Option A and D both have the correct definition of validity, but they do not accurately pair it with reliability. Option C is incorrect, as utility is not a measure of personality, but rather refers to usefulness or practicality.
