Explanation
A test that does not yield consistent results is not reliable. Such a test may still have been standardized and normed, both of which mean that it has been pretested on a large population and structured so that certain percentages of people answer each question in certain ways. Projective tests are used by psychoanalysts to try to see what is in a person’s unconscious. Fair is not a scientific term; tests may be perceived as unfair for a variety of reasons.
