Question

In the Middle Ages, people accused of being witches were often tested by being dunked in a river or pond. If they floated to the surface, they were condemned as witches. If they sank and drowned, they were posthumously acquitted. This test obviously lacks:___________.A) reliability.B) norms.C) validity.D) bias.

Answer 1

Validity

Step-by-step explanation:

Validity is the statistical term. It was formulated by Kelly. He told that the test will be valid when it measures what it claims to be measured.

For example, a test of personality will measure personality. A test in intelligence will measure the intelligence of a person rather than a personality. There is a distance between the external validity and internal validity. Different types of validity measure the test.
