Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reliability refers to the consistency or stability of test scores over time or across different test versions. If the IQ test produces similar scores when taken a few weeks apart, it demonstrates that the test is reliable. Validity refers to the degree to which a test measures what it claims to measure, objectivity refers to the absence of bias or subjective judgment in scoring or interpretation, and standardization refers to the use of consistent procedures for administration and scoring to allow for comparison of scores between individuals. While these concepts are related, the question specifically asks about the ability of the test to produce similar scores, which relates to reliability.
