Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Validity refers to how well a test measures what it's supposed to measure. Hence, a psychological test that measures what we intend it to measure is referred to as valid. Normed and standardized tests have to do with comparing an individual's scores to average scores of a specific population, while reliability has to do with the consistency and stability of a test's scores. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect in this context.
