Canonical correlation is a tool for measuring construct validity.
This statistical method evaluates convergent and divergent validity between LLQ scales and assessment center scales simultaneously. This study also investigated whether the LLQ was equally valid for males and females. In the past validation studies of the LLQ were investigated only with white males. The LLQ consist of two booklets that are divided into 27 skill areas and a total of 339 multiple choice questions that test actual knowledge in skills like Persuading, Influencing, Problem Solving and Decision Making. Six individuals participate in the simulation activities and are observed by a team of three trained assessors who relate behaviors observed during the exercises to 10 professional skills or dimensions.
