Right Answer: AExplanation: Answer option A is correct.Construct-related validity determines whether a test measures the connection between candidate characteristics and successful performance on the job.According to the DOL, construct validity is a method of testing that measures an applicant's abstract future behaviors. In order for a test to be legally defensible, it must show that it measured the proper characteristic, and that it accurately predicted future success on the job.Answer option C is incorrect. Content validity is evidence that the candidate can perform key aspects of the job in the interview process, such as conversing inEnglish and then in Spanish if these were the requirements of the job.Answer option D is incorrect. Criterion-related validity is an example where performance scores achieved by current employees are based on the criterion used for the selection. For example, current employees can perform better because they can design artwork in particular software programs, so applicants must be able to use the particular software program to qualify for the position.Answer option B is incorrect. Predictive validity is a confirmation that the characteristics the candidate tested for during the interview process hold true in the actual performance of the candidate once they've been hired.Certification Guide, HR Certification Institute, ISBN: 978-1-586-44149, Section III, The US HR Body of Knowledge.Chapter: Workforce Planning and EmploymentObjective: Staffing Programs3.
