Testing simply means revealing a person’s capabilities by putting them under strain and this is often challenging. Within an educational setting, testing is used to measure how much of the assigned materials students are mastering, how well a student is learning the materials, and how well a student is meeting the stated goals and objectives.
A standardised test is any test that is administered and scored in a consistent manner to ensure legal defensibility, often used in education. Psychometric tests are standardised tests used to measure individuals’ mental capabilities and behavioural style. At Mind-Path, we test two main areas in education and employment; intelligence and creativity.
