Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Criterion-related validity is the extent to which a test score can predict an individual's performance in other related areas, such as another test or real-life situations. Relating a test score to other data or assessments is a way to establish criterion-related validity. Content-related validity (A) is the extent to which a test measures the specific content or skills it claims to measure. Face validity (C) is a measure of how well a test appears to measure what it claims to measure, but it is not a formal type of validity. "About-face" (D) is not a term used in relation to test validity.
