Test Validity1 Professional testing Inc. PTI 2006 IntroductionValidity is arguably the most important criteria for the quality of a test. The term validityrefers to whether or not the test measures what it claims to measure. On a test with highvalidity the items will be closely linked to the test s intended focus. For many certificationand licensure tests this means that the items will be highly related to a specific job oroccupation. If a test has poor validity then it does not measure the job-related content andcompetencies it ought to. When this is the case, there is no justification for using the testresults for their intended purpose.
