Flaugher (1978) argues that the debate around test bias stems from misconceptions, particularly highlighting that test developers prioritize how overall test performance correlates with external criteria, rather than focusing solely on individual test items or the specific content of the tests. This approach is aimed at ensuring that tests are valid measures of what they intend to assess, by correlating test results with relevant external criteria.
