Face validity, in the context of psychometrics, refers to prima facie estimates of whether a test appears to measure a target construct.
Face validity does not guarantee that the test actually measures phenomena in that domain. Indeed, when a test is subject to faking (malingering), low face validity might make the test more valid.
