Intrinsic Rational Validity: Necessary But Not Sufficient.

Gardner, Eric F.

Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v2 n2 p13 Sum 1983

In response to Ebel (TM 508 146) Gardner argues that neither intrinsic rational validity associated with ability tests nor a validity coefficient relating a test to performance as the sole information about validity is sufficient. All relevant data about a test and its functioning are essential in describing the validity of the test. (Author/LC)
