但是，把对后果的考虑从有效性领域移开，将使它们的优先地位降低。毕竟，正如1985年标准中所述，有效性是测试评估中最重要的考虑因素。对考试成绩的使用和解释的后果是评估这些使用和解释的核心。对结果的评价正确地属于有效性的范畴。该标准旨在作为“可作为评估测试实践基础的技术指南”（AERA， APA, & NCME, 1985，第2页）。忽视这些做法的后果的评估肯定是不充分的。鼓励充分考虑测试使用的主要预期积极影响和可能的意外负面影响的最佳方法是将这些影响的评估视为测试验证的中心方面。
moving considerations of consequences from the domain of validity, however, would relegate them to lower priority. Validity is, after all, as stated in the 1985 Standards, the most important consideration in test evaluation. Consequences of the uses and interpretations of test scores are central to an evaluation of those uses and interpretations. The evaluation of consequences rightly belongs in the domain of validity. The Standards is intended to serve as “a technical guide that can be used as the basis for evaluating testing practices” (AERA, APA, & NCME, 1985, p. 2). An evaluation that ignores the consequences of those practices would surely be inadequate. The best way of encouraging adequate consideration of major intended positive effects and plausible unintended negative effects of test use is to recognize the evaluation of such effects as a central aspect of test validation.
