Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

(1) CONSTRUCT: The measure accurately reflects the construct (conceptual quality) of interest.
(2) CRITERION: The measure relates to other manifestations of the personality quality it is supposed to be measuring; or, uses a behavioral index (or observer judgment) as an external criterion (standard of comparison), and sees how well the measure correlates with it.
(3) CONVERGENT: The measure relates to characteristics that are similar to, but not the same as, what it is supposed to measure.
(4) DISCRIMINANT: The measure does not measure qualities it was not intended to measure, especially qualities that do not fit with what the researcher had in mind as a construct.
(5) FACE: The measure appears, on the face of it, to be measuring the construct; it looks right.

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.

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.
