# Term Definition
1 What form of validity measures to Content Validity
what extent the test represents
the general domain of interest?
2 What form of validity measures to Criterion-related validity
what extent the test correlates
with another test?
3 What form of validity measures to Construct validity
what extent the test reflects the
construct it is intended to
measure?
4 What form of validity measures to Consequential validity
what extent the test may create
harmful consequences for the test
takes?
5 What is the method for testing Compare content of the test to the domain being
content validity? measured
6 What is the method for testing Correlate scores from one instrument of scores
criterion-related validity? on a criterion measure, either at the same
(concurrent) or different (predictive) time
7 What is the method for testing Amass convergent, divergent, and
construct validity? content-related evidence to determine that the
presumed construct is what is being measured
8 What is the method for testing Observe and determine whether the test has
consequential validity? adverse consequence for test takers or users
9 What type of validity is involved Consequential-validity
with social consequences?
10 What type of validity is involved Criterion-related validity
with how much a test agrees with
a second test?
