Explanation / Answer

In selecting a measure, it is very important to consider major aspects of the measure or the test. A measure must be empirically tested. It needs to be valid, reliable, easy to use and accessible. There is no point in measuring a test which does measure what it claims to measure. The results would not be accurate. Inconsistent results in similar situations questions the reliability of the test. It is also necessary for a test to be easily used, as complicated tests may not guarantee accurate results. Availability is one the most important aspects of a test. It needs to be easily accessible and available in order to carry out the test. Thus, all the four aspects are important in selecting a measure.
