Question

Which term indicates the ability of a test to measure what it is actually designed to measure? question 9 options: reliability consistency precision quotient validity save?

Answer 1

The correct answer is validity.

Validity refers to the ability of a test or study to actually to measure what it claims to measure or is designed to measure. For instance, if a test or study aims to measure a sample's blood alcohol level, but ends up measuring blood sugar levels instead, it lacks validity, since it did not measure what it set out to measure.
