Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A well-designed psychological test should have reliability, meaning that it yields consistent results; standardization, meaning that the test is administered and scored the same way every time; and validity, meaning that the test accurately measures what it is intended to measure. Variability is not a necessary characteristic of a well-designed psychological test. Therefore, option C is the best choice as it includes all three important characteristics.
