Solution

The validity that is concerned with the ability to measure meaningful traits of a person, especially in psychological tests, is construct validity. So, the answer is c. construct validity.

Here's why:

a. Content validity refers to the extent to which a measure represents all facets of a given construct.

b. Face validity is about whether the test appears (on the face of it) to measure what it claims to.

c. Construct validity refers to whether a scale or test measures the construct adequately. In the context of psychological tests, this would refer to the test's ability to measure traits such as intelligence, anxiety, etc.

d. Criterion validity refers to the extent to which a measure is related to an outcome. It is often divided into concurrent (measured at the same time) and predictive (ability to predict future outcome) validity.
