the degree to which a test produces consistent results

Convergent validity evidence:

The measure is positively related with other measures of the construct.

Test-retest reliability evidence:

Based on the first administration with the performance of the second admin.

Discriminant validity evidence:

Indicates the measure is not related to measures of different constructs.

Internal consistency evidence:

Divides the instrument and correlates the scores.

The degree of flaw or error in an assessment that you are willing to accept is often determined by...

The severity in the consequences of how the results will be used.

Why is it we want to use some type of referenced scores (e.g., norm or criterion referenced) rather than raw scores?

Raw scores are meaningless without comparison.

Content validity evidence:

The instrument's content adequately represented the domain being accessed.
