Reliability of a measurement expressed in terms of its ability to predict the criterion: an example would be an academic aptitude test that was validated against subsequent academic performance.

 See criterion validity.

A measurements ability to predict scores on another measurement that is related or purports to measure the same or similar construct

an index of how well a test corresponds to a variant which is gauged in the future, at a time following which the test has been given.

Predictive validity is the extent to which performance on a test is related to later performance that the test was designed to predict. For example, the SAT test is taken by high school students to pr [..]

A measure of whether a test assesses what is intended that is based on the correlation between the test score and some external criterion The higher the predictive validity, the more useful the test.

In a predictive study, job applicants are tested and their performance evaluated at a later time, usually after being on the job for 6 months or more. The relation between performance on the assessmen [..]

The degree to which a test accurately predicts future performance of the test takers.

One of two possible forms of criterion-related validity. Predictive validity is the degree to which an instrument actually predicts a certain outcome for which it is designed. In the health sciences, for instance, an instrument that generates initial evaluation scores and thus enables a researcher or practitioner to predict accurately the period of [..]

The degree to which the future can be forecast by a current measurement instrument or scale.
