Concurrent validity is demonstrated where a test correlates well with a measure that has previously been validated.

For example, if a test measuring job satisfaction gives similar results to those gathered using a job satisfaction which has been validated in past investigations the new measurement has concurrent validaity.

Demonstrated when scores obtained from a new measure are related to scores obtained from previous measure of same variable.
