It doesn't seem silly to me; this is a standard figure/metaphor for teaching reliability & validity. You could make such a figure in R, but I would probably just use a drawing program (e.g., Serif, which can be downloaded for free). Alternatively, you could just search the internet for one, as I've seen several versions of this before. -Jeff

Dear R users:

It may be a silly question. I am trying to create a target diagram of 4 circles 
inside each other and adding some dots to describe different situations of 
validity and reliability. I need three of them.

one with all dots around the target.
one with all dots in about one place, but far from the target.
one with randomly scattered dots.

  I tried my best, but could not succeed. Can someone help me with creating 
such graph.

Thank you very much
