Defines selection procedures and explains the overall validation process, emphasizing sources of evidence and relationship-based, content-related, internal-structure, and response-process validity arguments. Provides guidance for planning validation efforts, assessing existing evidence and proposed uses, and ensuring sound inference through feasibility, work analysis, and appropriate levels of detail, including considerations for validity evidence sources and personnel decision
