A reliable but invalid test consistently produces the same results upon repeated measurements but does not measure what it is intended to measure. This means that while the test yields consistent and repeatable scores (reliability), those scores do not reflect a true or accurate assessment of the underlying construct or concept that the test is supposed to assess (validity). For example, a test designed to measure intelligence might consistently give the same score for an individual but might instead be measuring a person's familiarity with the test format rather than their actual intelligence.
