Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Construct validity refers to the degree to which a test measures what it is intended to measure, i.e. whether the test accurately assesses the particular theoretical construct it is designed to measure. Therefore, a test that taps into a particular theoretical construct is said to have construct validity. Predictive validity refers to the degree to which a test accurately predicts future performance, content validity refers to the degree to which a test adequately covers the intended content, and reliability refers to the consistency and stability of a test's scores over time.
