Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The instructor is asking the class to debate the fairness of intelligence tests, specifically in regard to how factors such as physical disabilities, language differences, and situational variables may affect a test taker's score. Choice A (standardization) refers to the uniform administration and scoring of tests, while Choice B (statistical reliability) refers to the consistency and stability of test scores over time. Choice D (statistical validity) refers to the extent to which a test measures what it is intended to measure. None of these options directly address the issue of fairness, which is the main focus of the instructor's question.
