3. The validity argument underlying evidence based on internal structure is, broadly speaking, that the relations among items, and among items and subtests, mirror those expected from theory. Such evidence may take the form of item and/or subscale intercor- relations, internal consistency coefficients for items thought to form an identifiable scale, results from exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, item response theory and/or generalizability theory, and DIF studies. 4. Establishing evidence based on relations of test scores to other variables should be based on a theory explicating how and why test scores should relate to other variables. This theory should include information about the expected direction and strength of the hypothesized relations. The evidence can take many forms, such as correlations of test scores with the hypothesized variables, prediction of outcomes, differences among groups thought to differ on the construct being measured, or studies designed to reveal the extent, if any, of contamination resulting from method effects. 5. Finally, evidence of the consequences of testing should be reported whenever possible. Both positive and negative consequences of testing should be discussed, so that potential test users can make an informed decision about whether the positive are likely to outweigh the negative in a particular testing situation.
