Definitions:

Reliability

The degree to which the result of a measurement, calculation, or specification can be depended on to be accurate.

Construct Validity

Evidence that a test measures a specific concept or trait. Construct validity includes an analysis of a test through one or more of the following methods: experimental design, factor analysis, convergence with other instruments, and/or discrimination with other measures.

Factor Analysis Validity

A statistical method used to examine whether a set of survey or test items correlates with underlying constructs, thereby validating the measure's theoretical assumptions.

Criterion-related Validity

The degree to which a test's outcomes correlate with other measures that assess similar constructs, determining how well one measure predicts an outcome based on another measure.
