Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Criterion-related validity is a measure of validity that assesses the extent to which a test score is related to some criterion measure that is external to the test, such as job performance scores. Therefore, this is the best choice. Split-half validity assesses the consistency of results across two halves of a test, content validity assesses the extent to which a test assesses a representative sample of the content domain it is supposed to measure, and construct validity assesses the extent to which a test measures the construct it is designed to measure. Concurrent validation involves assessing the relationship between test scores and criterion measures collected at the same time.
