I am one of the WJC students- Understanding Research
I have a ques about validity and reliability. In the Mock exam from 2010 there is a question about 'if a test is valid' how it relates to reliability. I had though that based on the reliability/validity diagrams, then once a test is valid- that is all the dots towards the centre of the diagram- then all the results have to be reliable (and for tests that are reliable, they might be but may not be valid)... but I realize that there could be another view that this is not so. Could you explain which would be correct (might be reliable vs must be reliable) please.
