Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

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.
