    The document discusses the concept of validity in testing. Validity refers to how accurately a test measures what it intends to measure. It also relates to whether conclusions drawn from test results are meaningful and appropriate given the test's purpose and intended audience. An example is provided of how using a test designed for 4th graders with 3rd graders could invalidate the results as younger students may lack the maturity and knowledge needed to accurately complete the test.
