Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Criterion-related validity refers to the degree to which a selection tool predicts or significantly correlated with important elements of work behaviour, and is considered the most important type of validity. Criterion-related reliability refers to the consistency of the selection tool over time, and is not directly related to its ability to predict job performance. Criterion-related consistency, stability, and integrity are not commonly used terms in the field of psychometrics.
