Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Construct validity refers to the testing of a hypothetical trait or set of traits that a person exhibiting a set of observable behaviors is thought to possess. Examples of constructs include giftedness, self-esteem and reading comprehension skill. Construct validity is usually assessed by giving the test in question to a group of individuals who are believed by experts to hold high levels of that concept. For example, a test of giftedness might be given to a group of individuals judged to be highly gifted. They should score high on that test in order to demonstrate the test's construct validity.
