Abstract There is growing evidence that Internet mediated psychological tests can have satisfactory psychometric properties, and can measure the same constructs as traditional offline versions. However, equivalence cannot be taken for granted. The Prospective Memory Questionnaire (PMQ; Hannon et al., 1995) was used in an online study exploring links between drug use and memory (Rodgers et al., 2003). The PMQ has four factor-analytically derived subscales. In a large (N=763) sample tested via the Internet, only two factors could be recovered: the other two subscales were essentially meaningless. This demonstration of non-equivalence underlines the importance of online test validation. Without examination of its psychometric properties, one cannot be sure that a test administered via the Internet actually measures the intended construct.
