Standardization ensures that the test is administered and scored uniformly, validity ensures that the test measures what it claims to measure, and reliability ensures that the test produces consistent and accurate results. These three requirements are essential for ensuring that a psychological test is scientifically sound and useful for assessing individuals' abilities, traits, or characteristics. The other options (A, B, C) either include irrelevant or incorrect requirements (e.g., brevity, culture-fairness, easiness to take) or fail to include essential ones (e.g., validity, reliability).
