Question

What are examples of tests that may lack face validity?

What are examples of tests that have face validity, but not construct, criterion-related, or content validity?

Answer 1

Ans:-

Face Validity

a judgment concerning how relevant the test items appear to be.
-If a test appears to measure what it purports to measure "on the face of it," it could be said to be high in face validity.
-Many self-report personality tests are high in face validity, whereas projective tests, such as the Rorschach tend to be low in face validity (i.e. it is not apparent what is being measured).
- A perceived lack of face validity may lead to a lack of confidence in the test measuring what it purports to measure.

Content Validity

this is a measure of validity based on an evaluation of the subjects, topics, or content covered by the items in the test.
-A judgment of how adequately a test samples behavior representative of the universe of behavior that the test was designed to sample
-Do the test items adequately represent the content that should be included in the test?

Criterion-related Validity

This is a measure of validity obtained by evaluating the relationship of scores obtained on the test to scores on other tests or measures
-A judgment of how adequately a test score can be used to infer an individual's most probable standing on some measure of interest (i.e. the criterion).
