    If this means that the researcher used two different tests that measure to different parts of the same construct, there simply is no internal validity. Causal inferences cannot be made since the variable measured in pretest is not the same as the one measured in the post test. Even if this variables are theoretically similar, we could not affirm there was a change due to our intervention, since the measurements are different and we have no evidence of change.
