Content validity concerns the sampling adequacy of the content being measured and is based on judgment. Expert ratings on the relevance of items can be used to compute a content validity index (CVI).

Construct validity, an instrument's adequacy in measuring the targeted construct, is a hypothesis-testing endeavor.
