A continuous measure reflects the intensity of a concept by assigning scores that can take on any value along some scale range. This is in contrast to a discrete measure, which can only take on certain specific values. Absolute measures are not specific to reflecting intensity, but rather are measures that are not relative to anything else (e.g. absolute temperature). Validity is a property of a measure that reflects how well it actually measures what it is intended to measure, but it is not specific to whether the measure is continuous or discrete.
