Criterion Measures

Criterion measures are standards or benchmarks used to evaluate someone's performance or knowledge in a specific area, such as general knowledge. They help determine how well a person understands various topics by comparing their results to a defined set of criteria or expectations. For example, a quiz scoring system might serve as a criterion measure, assessing how many questions someone answers correctly to gauge their general knowledge level. Using these measures allows for objective analysis of skills and knowledge, ensuring clear insights into an individual’s understanding.
