I'm of the opinion that some people are untestable wrt some measures. Sometimes the simple question of 'What do you think fits best' gets the most valid results.

My masters degree was related to human testing in Education. Sometimes you just can't get valid results. We found, for example, that asking an elementary teacher which book was on a particular student's reading level was as likely to produce valid results as our best testing instruments.
