Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The test's high test-retest reliability score indicates that it is consistent in measuring whatever it is measuring, but the lack of predictive value and uncertainty about the actual ability being measured suggest that the test may not be measuring what it is intended to measure, resulting in low validity. Therefore, the Aristographic Creativity Scale has high reliability but low validity.
