The appropriateness, meaningfulness, and usefulness of inferences drawn from measures is called validity.

Validity asks whether a measure truly captures the concept it claims to measure.

Parallel test reliability compares two equivalent forms of a test, a consistency issue.

Inter-rater reliability checks agreement between different scorers, again about consistency.

Test-retest reliability concerns stability of scores over time, not the soundness of inferences.

A measure can be reliable yet invalid, but a valid measure must be reliable.
