Education QUESTION #6767
Question 1
A testing agency wants to determine whether a new aptitude test produces scores consistent with scores from an already-validated ability test administered simultaneously. Which reliability/validity method is being employed?
  • Test-retest reliability
  • Concurrent criterion validity✔️
  • Predictive criterion validity
  • Split-half reliability
Correct Answer Explanation
Concurrent validity is a form of criterion validity where two measures are administered at the same time (concurrently) and their scores are correlated. If the new test scores align with the validated test, this is evidence of concurrent validity. It is not reliability (which involves the same test repeated or split) nor predictive validity (which requires a future criterion).
