Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Validity refers to the degree to which a test measures or predicts what it is intended to measure or predict. Standardization refers to the process of administering and scoring a test in a consistent and uniform manner. Reliability refers to the consistency or stability of a test over time or across different administrations. Test-retest reliability specifically refers to the consistency of scores when a test is administered to the same group of people at different points in time. While all of these concepts are important for evaluating the quality of a test, only validity speaks specifically to the accuracy of the test in measuring what it is intended to measure.
