This study investigated the relation between expert and target scoring of a video‐based social understanding test ( VSU ) under two different types of instructions (internal and observer). The effects of the scoring methods and instructions on the VSU 's construct validity were also examined. A total of 529 pilot applicants completed the VSU (some with internal and some with observer instructions), cognitive ability and knowledge tests, and a personality questionnaire. A subsample ( n = 132) completed the VSU again with the other instructions and participated in an assessment center ( AC ). The two scores were moderately correlated; correlations decreased when the instructions were considered. Neither expert nor target scores showed convergent validity with AC variables; none of the scoring‐instruction combinations showed significant associations with the remaining measures.
