Usually, a portfolio is a considered to be a collection of your best work. Like a reference, it shows nothing in itself (you only ask for references from people who you know are going to say good things about you), but both show where you've been and what you've done.

I'd be very interested to know how they defined them and what measurement tests they came up with and how they are validated.
