The validity of psychometric tests is defined as the degree to which the test measures what it claims. Validity is determined by the various data points and insights revealed by the research to focus on the relationship between the test and the personality traits it measures.
A psychometric test can only be reliable if it produces similar results under invariable conditions. A reliable test score is precise and consistent during every test. It can also be recreated on multiple occasions.
A standardized psychometric test is implemented and scored in a standard or consistent manner. Standardization also means that the tests development, evaluation, usage, reporting, conditions of administering, scoring procedures and interpretations are consistent and in line with the set standards.
