Discriminant validity refers to the extent to which a construct is distinct from other constructs that it should not be correlating with. This is different from convergent validity, which looks at the extent to which a construct correlates with other measures that are expected to be similar to it. Criterion validity looks at how well a measure correlates with an external criterion that should be related to it. Concurrent validity and predictive validity both measure how well a measure can predict an outcome, but differ in whether the outcome is being predicted at the same time or in the future, respectively.
