Types of Assessment Validity & Reliability
by Julia Birney
1. “two equivalent forms of the test” administered and correlated (p. 343).
2. “The same test is administered twice to the same group of students, and...scores are correlated” (p. 342).
3. Useful when criterion-related validity evidence is inapplicable to a test.
4. • Content Validity Evidence
5. Are appropriate ideas covered? (p. 330)
6. Yields a "logical judgment" (p. 331)
7. • Construct Validity Evidence
8. • Test-Retest/Stability
9. • Alternate Forms/Equivalence

11. • Criterion-related Validity Evidence
11.1. o Concurrent criterion-related validity evidence
11.1.1. Can “estimate the validity of a new test” (p. 330).
11.2. o Predictive validity evidence
11.2.1. “Can predict some future behavior of the examinees” (p. 330).
