2. What is the purpose of each test you selected?
3. What are the constructs being assessed in each test?
4. What are the characteristics of the tests, such as length of time to administer, length of time to score, and length of time to interpret the results?
5. How will the test distinguish between candidates based upon the results?
Note: The first two listed items will apply to both tests in the same way. The last three listed items should require separate responses appropriate to the two different tests.
