(A) reliablity.
(B) standardization.
(C) consistency.
(D) validity.
(E) practical worth.

Answer
(D) validity.
Spoiler
Explanation
Since the personality test does not seem to have resulted in an accurate depiction of Mary’s personality, the test lacks validity. If repeated administrations of the test yielded similar results, the test could still be reliable. The test may or may not have been standardized. Consistency is generally equated with reliability. If the test lacks validity, it will not have practical worth, but the latter is not a psychological term.
