Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A norm-referenced evaluation is used to compare individuals to a norm or average group, such as selecting one manager from a pool of ten applicants based on their performance in comparison to others. The other options require criterion-referenced evaluations, which assess individual performance against a specific standard or criteria, such as assessing whether an individual has been drinking too much or whether a student has learned a certain amount during the semester. Certifying a newly graduated education student as a teacher would also likely require a criterion-referenced evaluation based on specific teaching standards.
