abstract="Referring to a recently published study (Vetter et al., 2015) it is regarded how the concept of theory guided validity can be misunderstood. Beyond the criticism of the study, it can be respected as an example for tackling an old problem of criterion related validity, namely the validity of the criterion. As an external criterion design for the validation of 5 performance tests, three driving exercises are derived from a model of &quot;Goals for Driver Education&quot; by plausibility arguments in the sense of a content validity. Using the driving exercises, also the tests are not validated with regard to a theory but by correlations. Two tests do not correlate with any driving exercise. Two other test correlate slightly and exchangeable with two driving exercises, but the two driving exercises do not correlate to one another. This cannot be regarded as a validation of these tests. By additive regressions, somewhat better correlations are obtained (maximum 25 % explained variance for performance tests) while performance tests are confounded with a personality inventory. But this problematic way of aggregation cannot either be regarded as a way of validation.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
