Criterion-related validity: predicting performance, positive/negative correlation of their tests (i. e. pilot training -> aptitude) Matt tang: measure a hypothetical construct (creativity, intelligence, extraversion, or independence, related to extraversion, would be strongly correlated, not related to extraversion, there isn"t a correlation. Children who needed help in the school system. Distinguish between children who were developed normally and others. Mental age: 9 years old, but mental age is 4 years old (needs special assistance) Intelligence quotient (iq) = ma/ca x 100: ma: mental age, ca: chronological age.
