Convergent validity is shown when informant and self reports correlate within a subscale

Evidence

Thus, this approach involves a series of visual comparisons among correlations within a MTMM matrix. … Evidence of convergent validity can be determined with a positive correlation between informant-reported IS and self-reported IS within each subscale of the IS (i.e., validity value or significant and positive correlation between different methods of the same trait). — Sherman A. Lee, Chelsea A. Reid, Stephen D. Short, Jeffrey A. Gibbons, Ruth Yeh, and Matthew L. Campbell, Fear of Muslims, 89
