Internal consistency (consistency of response across items on measure) test-retest , inter-rater. Content, face, concurrent, predictive, convergent, discriminant, incremental. Practical utility of approach, relative to others. Sensitivity: ability to correctly identify those with disorder. Specificity: ability to correctly identify those without disorder.
