Question 295General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is B) Assessment reliability is not a pre-condition for assessment validity, and assessment validity is not a pre-condition for assessment reliability. This is because assessment validity and assessment reliability are independent concepts. Assessment validity refers to how well an assessment measures what it is intended to measure, while assessment reliability refers to the consistency and reproducibility of the assessment results. An assessment can be reliable without being valid, and vice versa. For example, an assessment could consistently produce the same results, but those results may not accurately reflect the intended measurement. Conversely, an assessment could produce valid results, but the results may not be consistent across multiple administrations. The other options are incorrect because they suggest a dependency between assessment validity and assessment reliability, which is not the case.
