Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Predictive validity refers to how well a test predicts future performance on a criterion measure. If a test is not strongly associated with criterion measures such as high school or college academic performance, then it has low predictive validity. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Low internal validity refers to the degree to which the results of a study can be attributed to the independent variable rather than confounding factors, low construct validity refers to the degree to which a test measures the intended construct or trait, and low content validity refers to the extent to which a test measures all aspects of the construct or trait it is designed to measure. None of these are relevant to the scenario described in the question.
