There are four types of validity that HR Professional should be familiar with: content validity, criterion-related validity, construct validity, and predictive validity. There is no such category as professional validity.
Answer options D, A, and C are incorrect. Predictive validity, content validity, and construct validity are the categories of validity, as part of abiding by the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures.

I’m pretty confident it’s 40 and above, but I wish I had reviewed more about the specifics of the ADEA before the exam.

I think the ADEA applies to employees who are 40 and above, but I'm not completely sure.

This seems straightforward - the ADEA is meant to cover all people regardless of their age, so I'll go with option D.

The ADEA is designed to protect older workers, so I'm guessing the age cutoff is 50 and above. I'll select option B to be safe.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the ADEA deals with age discrimination, but I can't remember the exact age threshold. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Alright, I've got a strategy here. The command is adding a forward server, so that's likely related to the outputs configuration. I'll start there and see if I can find the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this question. I'll have to think it through carefully. The options seem a bit mixed, so I'll need to really focus on the details.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'm thinking option B might be the way to go, but I'll need to double-check the JOBS table structure in BigQuery.

50 and above? That's a bit high, don't you think? I mean, I know 50 is the new 30, but the ADEA should still apply to younger folks too.

All people regardless of age? That can't be right. Why would they need a law to protect everyone from age discrimination? This one's a no-brainer.
