Compare and contrast reliability and validity.

What will be an ideal response?


Reliability is the degree to which a measure is free from random error. Validity is the extent to which performance on the measure is associated with performance on the job. A measure must be reliable if it is to have any validity. On the other hand, one can reliably measure many characteristics (such as height) that may have no relationship to whether someone can perform a job. For this reason, reliability is a necessary but insufficient condition for validity.
