"The Chi Square Goodness of Fit test determines if the observed frequencies are different from what we would expect to find (we expect to see equal numbers in each group within a variable)."

In other words, how close the predicted values are to the actual values. If you plot these values in a graph, how close these 2 lines resemble each other.
