Sentence: The Bechdel test, a measure of the representation of women in movies that was developed by Alison Bechdel, stipulates that a film must feature at least two named female characters who talk to each other about a topic unrelated to a man.
Isn't this sentence incorrect? The sentence refers to the Bechdel test as "a measure of the representation of women in movies," when it is more accurate to say that the Bechdel test is a tool used to evaluate the representation of women in movies, and the result of the test is the measure of that representation.
Target Test Prep (TTP) says this is correct - seems wrong to me?

The sentence is fine. The word MEASURE has many meanings. It can mean something like 'a tool for measurement' or 'a way of judging something', as in these meanings and example sentences from the Cambridge dictionary and Merriam-Webster dictionary. (Scroll down on the linked pages to see these meanings and examples.)
So the Bechdel Test is a way of judging or measuring women's representation in films
