As an evidence of construct validity, the FACT-G questionnaire appeared to be capable of discriminating among groups of patients according to their level of performance status, showing differences in the total scale and subscale scores with the criterion groups.
It might be thought that a limitation of the study of discriminant validity was the fact that no CIA data on healthy controls were used: instead, discriminant validity was tested by comparing patients with a clinical eating disorder with patients who were judged to no longer to have one.
That notion has some validity, despite the fact that libertarianism as an explicit political ideology has met with very limited success - Rand Paul's failure to make an impact in presidential polls being the latest example.

The first important result was that both the onset and the amplitude of the N2pc were unaffected by cue validity, despite the fact that a larger P1 amplitude was observed contralateral to the attended (cued) location.
44 45 The selection of RS-14 for this study was based on its wider usage, relatively higher validity and the fact that it has shown previous associations with mental health, trauma and functioning outcomes in different settings.
The WHOQOL-Bref score had fair convergent validity, and the fact that it did not have stronger correlations with the SF-36 and QOLS suggests that while it does share some overlap with these existing measures, it assesses a unique aspect of quality of life not assessed by the either the SF-36 or the QOL.
Despite having no legal validity, the mere fact that the vote was held, he said, "weakened the image of the central government, after it repeatedly told Spaniards this vote would never happen".
The content validity of the FACT-G was estimated using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) proposed by Lawshe [ 33].
These retrospective validity results suggest that the QLACS had better predictive validity than the FACT-B.
That would have been a dispute over the validity of the facts, not their meaning.
