validity testing

Validity testing is a process used to determine whether a test or measurement actually measures what it’s intended to measure. For example, if a test aims to assess math skills, validity testing checks if the test accurately reflects a person’s math ability and not unrelated skills. It helps ensure that the results are meaningful and trustworthy. Validity is essential for making informed decisions based on test outcomes, such as in education, psychology, or hiring processes. In short, it confirms that the tool is measuring the right thing and providing accurate, useful information.
