Sarula's friend is suggesting that the quiz may not actually measure compatibility

Validity refers to the extent to which a test or measure actually measures what it claims or sets out to measure. For a test to give an accurate result, it is important for the test to be valid. In this instance, the quiz Sarula took from the magazine may not be valid, since it probably is not based on legitimate scientific research. The quiz might have assessed things that have nothing to do with relationship compatibility.
