Objective This study compared the reliability and the validity of Composite International Diagnostic InterviewCore Version (CIDIC)/The 10th Edition of International Classification of Diseases (ICD10), CIDIC/ The 3rd Edition Diagnostic and Statistical of Manual of Mental Disorder, Revised Edition (DSMⅢR), Schedules for clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN)/ICD10 and SCAN/DSMⅢR for mental disorders.
3 ) The scale validities were estimated by principal component analysis, analysis of internal consistency and the analysis of correlation between DSCAC and WISC-R.
Compared with classical test theory and item response theory,the knowledge engineering based approach could improve the test validity,especially,the knowledge space theory is very useful for the developing of achievement test.
In this paper the discussion was focused on the test validity, including the meaning of content validity, empirical validity and construct validity as well as the qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods of these validities.
An analysis of formulas is made based on classical testing theories and a new formula is put forward to explain the relationship between test validity and test length.
This test form is related to test reliability and test validity, so three principles must be obeyed in testing design: the rational principle of choosing materials, the scientific principle of design, the overall principle of testing focus.
The main emphasis is on Hardy spaces and boundary value problems, and our aim is to identify the geometric and analytic assumptions guaranteeing the validity of basic results from complex function theory in this general setting.

We compared the convergent validities of four commonly used post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) measures in 80 help-seeking Vietnam veterans by contrasting their intercorrelations.
