Explanation:

To begin with, the term known as "Convergent validity" refers to a concept used in the sociology and psichology and more other sciences who focus on the behaviors of the population with the primary goal of dealing with relation between two measures of constructs that should theorycally be related. So that means that the major purpose of this method is to prove how much relation there is between those two measurements that established to be close enough to be related. That is why that in this case Larry is checking the convergent validity so that he will see how much of the real productivity actually matches with the scores planned.
