An assessment that receives similar scores across administrations is considered to have strong

  1. reliability

  2. face validity

  3. internal consistency

  4. concurrent validity

The correct answer is: reliability

Reliability refers to the consistency or stability of results over time. If an assessment receives similar scores across multiple administrations, it indicates that the results are reliable and consistent. Face validity, on the other hand, refers to the appearance or superficial validity of the assessments. It does not indicate the consistency of results. Internal consistency measures the correlation between different items within the same assessment, but not necessarily across administrations. Finally, concurrent validity measures the correlation between different assessments that are administered at the same time, which is not directly related to the consistency of scores across administrations.
