3. True or False, A particular operationalization of a construct adequately represents what is intended.

TRUE
FALSE

4. Construct validity involves which attribute?

a totality of mismapping
empirical and theoretical support for the misinterpretation of the construct
relationships separating the test and measures
the lack of support for the substantive theory of the construct

the operationalization does not correlate with other operationalizations

5. True or False, The test data and criterion data are collected at the same time for concurrence.

TRUE
FALSE

the correlation between the test and a criterion variable
a representative of the distruct

premisses from conclusions

assessment is unrelated to what it should theoretically be related to
a false conclusion from false premisses

two constructs overlapping to less than 0.50
