Differential validity
Differential validity refers to the characteristic of a test that significantly predicts a criterion for two (2) groups, such as both minorities and non-minorities, but predicts significantly better for one of the two (2) groups.
Moreover, Differential validity is the extent to which a test has different meanings for different groups of people. For example, a test may be a valid predictor of college success for white but not for black students.
