RUEDA, Fabián Javier Marín  e  CASTRO, Nelimar Ribeiro de. Evidence of Convergent Validity and of Validity by Comparison of Related Constructs for the Intelligence Test. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2012, vol.6, n.2, pp. 101-110. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5327/Z1982-12472012000200003.

This study aims to establish evidence of convergent validity and of validity by comparison of related constructs for the Intelligence Test (TI) by examining the correlation between the TI and the Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (R1), and the correlation between the TI and the Concentrated Attention Test (AC). Participants consisted of 484 candidates for National Drivers License, of both sexes (63.8% men), with ages ranging from 18 to 67 years old (m=26.56, SD=8.81). The results showed moderate and positive correlation coefficients (above 0.509) between the TI and the R1, which, according to the literature, can be interpreted as evidence of convergent validity, as well as correlation coefficients ranging from 0.20 to 0.50 between the TI and the AC, indicating evidence of validity by comparison with tests that assess related constructs.
