Are psychological tests accurate or not?

In fact, the accuracy of psychological test results is influenced by many factors, including measuring tools, measuring environment, testers and testees.

The first is the measuring tool. Psychological test is the research result of psychophysics. Psychologists equate psychological quality with physical characteristics, such as height and weight, which can be measured by appropriate tools, and so can psychological quality. For example, intelligence can be measured by intelligence test, and personality characteristics can be measured by personality test. But to ensure the accuracy of the tool, two basic conditions need to be met. First, there must be sufficient reliability. For example, the meter ruler for measuring height, if the height measured every time is very close, shows that its reliability is good, and the tools for psychological measurement are the same. Second, it must be effective. For example, weighing scale can get accurate weight data, and intelligence test can indeed measure relevant data of intelligence, which shows that validity is possible. On the contrary, the content of intelligence test contains other contents, so the validity of the test will be very low. Through these two factors, we can judge whether the test itself is easy to use.

Secondly, the environment, candidates and other factors also affect the test results, because psychological test is different from physical test after all, and its characteristics are greatly influenced by subjectivity, such as cultural differences affecting people's understanding of the test, and psychological state affecting people's state of doing the test.

So is the psychological test accurate? This question is difficult to answer. Moreover, psychological test is only used as a reference and understanding aid most of the time, and now it plays a less and less decisive role. Even with the development of the media, more and more people regard exams as a kind of entertainment, combining horoscopes, fortune telling, psychology and fortune telling. To satisfy their curiosity. Whether these tests can be called psychological tests for the time being, but they have a great influence on the standard psychological tests.
