Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Validity refers to the degree to which a test measures what it claims to measure. The fact that intelligence tests are moderately to highly correlated with academic performance indicates that they are measuring a construct related to academic abilities, and thus have good validity for predicting academic performance. Reliability, test reliability, and predictive reliability are all related to the consistency of test scores over time or across different administrations, but they do not necessarily indicate that the test is measuring what it claims to measure.
