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.
