Star Inc. is requesting its present employees to take the test and match it with their performance in the organization at the same time. This is called concurrent validation. Predictive validation involves administering the test to job applicants and then correlating their scores with their eventual job performance. Content validation involves ensuring that the test items are relevant to the job being tested. Face validation involves expert judgment that the test appears to measure what it is intended to measure. Logical validation involves determining whether the test items make logical sense and are consistent with the job being tested.
