A valid critique of the use of response inventories is that they:

A) do not have good face validity.
B) have a long development cycle.
C) are standardized too rigidly.
D) are not well tested.

Response Inventories

Tests designed to measure a person’s responses in one specific area of functioning, such as affect, social skills, or cognitive processes.

Face Validity

The extent to which a test or measure appears effective in terms of its stated aims, based on subjective judgment rather than empirical evidence.

Development Cycle

Refers to a series of stages through which a project, product, individual, or organism passes during its lifetime, encompassing phases from initiation to completion or birth to death.
