**UNIT 2 B QUIZ** 1\. What does face validity focus on? **A) Whether the test looks like it measures what it is supposed to measure** B\) Whether the test predicts future performance C\) Whether the test measures all aspects of the construct D\) Whether the test correlates with other similar tests 2\. Which of the following is the best example of content validity? A\) A math test contains only addition problems. **B) A math test includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems.** C\) A math test predicts how well students will perform in the future. D\) A math test looks like it measures math skills, but doesn\'t. 3\. What is the primary concern of construct validity? **A) Whether the test measures a theoretical trait or concept accurately** B\) Whether the test items are simple and easy to understand C\) Whether the test correlates with job performance D\) Whether the test is given to many people 4\. Criterion validity is demonstrated when: A\) A test looks like it measures the correct construct **B) A test is aligned with future or current outcomes** C\) A test includes all relevant questions for a particular topic D\) A test measures unrelated traits accurately 5\. If a job performance test predicts how well employees will perform in the future, it shows: A\) Face validity B\) Construct validity C\) Content validity **D) Predictive criterion validity** 6\. Which of the following tests best demonstrates content validity? **A) A test that asks all necessary questions to measure the construct fully** B\) A test that looks like it measures the correct concept C\) A test that correlates with future performance D\) A test that measures a completely unrelated skill 7\. If a test has high face validity, this means: **A) It looks like it measures what it should measure**. B\) It has been shown to predict job performance accurately. C\) It correlates with other similar measures. D\) It contains all necessary questions about the construct. 8\. What is an example of criterion validity? A\) A personality test looks like it measures introversion. **B) A personality test predicts how a person will behave in a social setting.** C\) A test on social anxiety covers all aspects of social anxiety. D\) A math test contains no irrelevant items. 9\. A test that fully represents the skills needed for a profession, like a firefighter test that includes physical, mental, and problem-solving tasks, shows: A\) Face validity **B) Content validity** C\) Construct validity D\) Criterion validity 10\. Construct validity is concerned with: A\) Whether a test looks like it measures what it\'s supposed to B\) Whether a test contains all relevant questions for a topic **C) Whether a test accurately measures a theoretical trait or concept** D\) Whether a test predicts future success Answer Key: 1\.

What is the main goal of convergent validity? A\) To ensure the test measures different constructs B\) To ensure the test is not related to other tests **C) To ensure the test correlates with other tests that measure the same construct** D\) To ensure the test measures a completely different trait 2\. Which of the following best describes divergent (discriminant) validity? A\) It checks if a test correlates with other tests that measure similar constructs. **B) It ensures a test is unrelated to tests measuring different constructs**. C\) It ensures the test correlates highly with intelligence tests. D\) It measures the accuracy of a test over time. 3\. Which type of validity is concerned with how well a test measures a theoretical concept or trait? A\) Criterion validity B\) Face validity **C) Construct validity** D\) Content validity 4\. If a depression test correlates strongly with an established anxiety test, it shows a lack of: A\) Convergent validity **B) Divergent (discriminant) validity** C\) Criterion validity D\) Face validity 5\. What does a test with strong convergent validity indicate? A\) It accurately measures different, unrelated constructs. **B) It correlates with other measures of the same construct.** C\) It is unrelated to other tests. D\) It can be used in different cultures. 6\. Which of the following is an example of divergent (discriminant) validity? A\) A test of self-esteem correlates with another self-esteem test. B\) A test of anxiety correlates with a test of intelligence. **C) A test of anxiety does not correlate with a test of extroversion**. D\) A test of depression correlates with a test of anxiety. 7\. Convergent validity shows that: A\) A test has the same results over time. B\) A test is unrelated to other different tests. **C) A test correlates with other tests that measure the same thing.** D\) A test doesn\'t measure what it intends to. 8\.
