Validity

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Validity is the extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure.

Show

An intelligence test's validity is assessed partly against outcomes it should predict, such as academic performance.

Watch for

Validity is claimed for a specific use, not for a test in general. A valid use does not transfer.
