Criterion-referenced tests are designed to measure individual performance against a set of specific criteria or learning objectives. In this case, Jennifer's test evaluated her achievement in reading and writing separately, indicating that she excelled in one area but struggled in another. Norm-referenced tests, on the other hand, compare individual performance to the performance of a larger group and rank individuals accordingly. Personality tests and projective tests are not relevant to evaluating academic performance.
