Discriminant validity refers to the ability of a measure to distinguish between two theoretically distinct constructs. In this case, Edgar's measure of intelligence quotient is not related to his language skills, indicating that the two constructs are distinct from each other. This finding supports the discriminant validity of the measure. The other types of validity listed do not necessarily apply to this specific finding.
