Question

Gunter's statement suggests that he believes that the WAIS does not accurately measure intelligence, which is a criticism of the test's validity. Standardization refers to the process of administering the test in a consistent way to all participants, reliability refers to the consistency of the test's results over time, and a normal distribution refers to the common statistical pattern in which scores on a test cluster around an average value. While these factors are important for a test, Gunter's statement specifically critiques the test's validity.
