Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To establish the validity of a test for computer technicians, Kate should administer the test to people applying for computer technician jobs in Gunther Corp. This will allow her to compare the test scores of those who perform well on the job to their test scores, validating whether the test predicts success on the job. Administering the test to the current employees or a random selection of employees may not provide an accurate validation of the test since some employees may not have the skills required for their positions. Administering the test to similar job positions in other companies may not provide sufficient data on the validity of the test for Gunther Corp.
