Group tests are characterized by :
(I) Multiple test administrators administer the test at the same time.
(II) Administration of the test on number of test-takers at the same time.
(III) Availability of multiple copies of the test.
Answer: B
The defining feature is (II) only: the test is administered to a number of test-takers at the same time.
Group tests, which began with the Army Alpha and Beta tests of the First World War, are designed so that a single examiner can test many people at once, with printed instructions, simple timing and objective scoring. That is what separates them from individual tests such as the Stanford-Binet or the Wechsler scales, where one examiner tests one person.
Group tests do not need several administrators working together; one usually suffices (I). Having multiple copies of the test booklet is a practical necessity of administering it to many people, not what characterises a group test (III).
