Content Validity

Explanation:

Content validity, which can also be referred to as "logical validity" refers to concept found in In psychometrics regarding the extent to which a measure represents all facets of a given construct. In this case, Josiane doesn't feel like the test represents someone's intelligence since it doesn't seem to test more than your vocabulary knowledge and intelligence is much more than vocabulary.
