# What does it mean by a reliable and valid test? Are Prevue Assessments scientifically validated?
When hiring managers put their trust on our assessments to make the best hiring decision, it is our responsibility to ensure that the instruments we use are dependable and sound. A test is **[reliable and valid](https://www.prevuehr.com/resources/science-lab/reliability-validity-pre-employment-assessments/)** if the results are consistent and measures what it claims to measure, which in our case is a candidate’s job-fit. Every section, scale, and question in our assessments were developed by pioneers in the field of Occupational Psychology, and have then been iteratively reviewed by our team of psychometricians with years of research and knowledge.
