Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Criterion-related validity refers to the degree to which a test or measure can predict job performance or other relevant outcomes. In this scenario, Reece's math test appears to have this type of validity because there was a correlation between test scores and job performance. B) Content validity refers to whether a test covers a representative sample of the domain being measured. C) Construct validity refers to whether a test measures the underlying construct it is intended to assess. D) Reliability refers to the consistency or stability of test scores over time or across different raters or methods. While reliability is important for a valid test, it is not directly related to the scenario described.
