Well shit, if all you’re saying is tests are somewhat predictive, sure. But there can easily be people who do badly on tests and perform very well in the real world.

Your original claim was ” The skills needed to answer a good test item are the exact same skills needed to use whatever is being tested in a real-world setting.”, which is amazingly hyperbolic and obviously untrue.

Hell, I mean, five seconds of thought can tell you this. Unless you just take this to the ridiculous level of saying that for some things a real world usage of the skill is the form the test would make, which would be hilarious.
