Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The test is low on validity because it assesses skills (communication, language abilities, understanding of client services) that may not be directly relevant to the technical expertise required for handling software in the publishing process. Validity refers to how well a test measures what it is supposed to measure. In this case, the inclusion of unrelated skills assessment could compromise the test's validity regarding the specific technical skills needed.
