Validity refers to the degree to which a test measures what it claims to measure. There are four main types of validity: face validity, content validity, criterion validity, and construct validity. Face validity is how test takers perceive the test. Content validity refers to how well the content of the test matches the objectives being taught. Criterion validity is the extent of agreement between a test and an external outcome measure. Construct validity is the extent to which a test measures a theoretical concept or construct.
