Understand the concept of 'validity' in psychological testing. Validity refers to the degree to which a test accurately measures what it is intended to measure.
Differentiate between 'validity' and 'reliability'. Reliability refers to the consistency of a test's results over time, while validity is about the accuracy of what the test measures.
Consider the context of the question: it asks about a test measuring what it is supposed to measure, which directly relates to the concept of validity.
Review the definitions of the other options: 'objectivity' refers to the unbiased nature of a test, and 'standardization' refers to the uniform procedures used in administering and scoring a test.
Conclude that the correct term for a test that measures what it is supposed to measure is 'validity', as it aligns with the definition provided in the context of psychological testing.
