Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure, meaning that the tool yields consistent results under consistent conditions. A tool can be reliable, consistently measuring something in the same way, but not valid if it does not accurately measure what it is supposed to measure. Validity refers to the accuracy of the measure, or how well it measures what it is intended to measure. A tool can be consistently wrong, hence reliable but not valid.
