Abstract

A procedure is suggested for test development and construct validation based on a theory about the criterion performance. The procedure involves building a criterion test and testing its fit to the theory by experimental or correlational methods, and assessing the construct validity of the desired operational test in terms of its similarity to the criterion test. The method is illustrated by describing a study concerned with the selection of medical school students, where the criterion is a measure of clinical problem-solving ability.
