Ep: 169 - Validity - Having Confidence in the Results of a Personality Test

from Psychology in Everyday Life: The Psych Files · host Michael Britt

In episode 168 I discussed reliability but the real test of a test's "metal" - or how confident you can be in the results - comes when you subject it to lots of validity tests.  You'll learn a lot about validity if you take a psychology class.  High validity is what separates the many fun-to-take but essentially meaningless tests you'll find on the web, and a truly solid test of your personality.
