Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Validity refers to the degree to which predictor scores (such as test scores, interview ratings, or application materials) are related to criterion scores (such as job performance ratings or other measures of success on the job). Therefore, the correct answer is C) the relationship between predictor and criterion scores. Choices A and B are unrelated to validity, while choice D describes a different concept altogether (adverse impact ratio).
