Abstract
This chapter concentrates on analyzing measurement validity for each scale of competence at an individual level. Measurement validity refers to the “best available approximation to the truth or falsity of a given inference, proposition or conclusion”. The idea of validity focuses on an informed judgment of how strongly theory and evidence support the interpretations and decisions based on the measure.
