Construct validity is a way to test the validity of a test. Construct validity is used basically in education, social science, and psychology. It shows that the test is measuring the construct it claims its measuring. For example, you might try to find out the reason why emotional maturity increases in elementary school children. Construct validity would measure if your research is measuring the emotional maturity. It is an important scientific concept. It is important to evaluate the validity of the personality test.
Convergent validity is the sub-part of construct validity.
