Answer to Question 1

While both strands of validity evidence involve correlating two scores on two related variables, predictive approaches introduce a time element. That is, the overriding concern of predictive validity evidence is the prediction of a future outcome or variable. On the other hand, concurrent evidence is concerned with immediate outcomes. Consider a new test designed to measure depression. Concurrent validity evidence would answer the question: based on scores from this test of depression, what is the likelihood a client will attempt suicide now? Predictive validity evidence may answer the question: based on scores from this test of depression, what is the likelihood a client will attempt suicide at some later time?

Answer to Question 2

Within the framework of classical test theory, reliability is conceptualized as the proportion of true score variance associated with an observed score.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
