EDAPT VALIDITY AND EVALUATING
ACTUAL TEST SCRIPT COMPLETE
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
●● 3 Questions Addressed by Validity
Answer: Is the test or assessment capable of discriminating among
individuals with and without certain traits, diagnoses, or conditions?
Can the test or assessment evaluate the magnitude or quality of change
from one time to another?
Can we make useful and accurate predictions about a patient's future
function based on the outcome of a test?
●● Similarities of Validity and Reliability
Answer: Ensure a test or measurement tool gives meaningful results.
(reduce errors)
Can be evaluated only within the context of an instrument's intended use
(including the population and setting to which it is applied).
●● Distinctions
, Answer: Validity relates to alignment of the measurement with a targeted
construct
Reliability relates to consistency of a measurement tool
●● Types of Evidence for Validity
Answer: Content validity
Criterion-related validity
Construct validity
●● Content validity
Answer: The adequacy that the complete universe of content is sampled
by a test's items
-panel of experts
-items must adequately represent the full scope of the construct being
studied
●● Face validity
Answer: The implication that an instrument appears to test what is
intended to test
-general users
-judgment by the users of a test AFTER the test is developed
