Norm-referenced tests compare an individual's performance to the performance of a larger group. Therefore, the information obtained from a norm-referenced test yields information about how the examinee's performance ranks in comparison to others who have taken the test. The information indicating eye-hand coordination skills necessary to operate particular machinery would be obtained from a criterion-referenced test.
