In other words, it&#8217;s a way to demonstrate that a test or assessment is <em>statistically related<\/em> to an important outcome \u2014 like job performance, academic success, or customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of criterion-related validity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Predictive validity<\/strong> \u2013 when the test is used to predict future performance.<br><em>Example<\/em>: Using a college entrance exam score to predict a student&#8217;s future GPA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Concurrent validity<\/strong> \u2013 when the test and the criterion are measured at the same time.<br><em>Example<\/em>: Correlating a current employee\u2019s job performance rating with their results from a new aptitude test.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In the question, the phrase <strong>&#8220;demonstrating a statistical relationship between scores of a measure and an outcome variable of interest (like job success)&#8221;<\/strong> directly refers to <strong>criterion-related validity<\/strong>, since it involves linking test scores to a real-world performance measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>a. Test-retest reliability<\/strong> measures the stability of test scores over time, not their relationship with outcomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>b. Construct-related validity<\/strong> assesses whether a test measures the theoretical construct it\u2019s intended to (e.g., intelligence, motivation).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>c. Internal consistency reliability<\/strong> checks how consistently items on a test measure the same construct, not how they relate to an external criterion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>e.
