Résumé
Depuis Alfred Binet, qui, sans parler de validité, présentait toutefois une conception pragmatique, utilitaire et empirique de la pertinence d’un test, le concept de validité est né et a beaucoup évolué. À partir d’une perspective historique du concept de validité psychométrique, cet article vise à en explorer de manière critique quelques facettes afin de dégager les différentes orientations définitionnelles, sans perdre de vue les démarches d’opérationnalisation qu’on leur associe.

Abstract
Since Alfred Binet, who, without mentioning validity explicitly, presented a pragmatic, utilitarian and empirical vision of the relevance of tests, the concept of validity of psychological tests has greatly evolved. In a historical perspective on the concept of psychometric validity, this paper aims to explore various facets in order to identify their wide definitional orientations, without ignoring the operational procedures on which they are based.
Keywords:
- validity,
