Social Processes: Methodology · Types of test
A test is said to be norm-referenced when the translated score tells where the person stands in some population of persons who have taken the test. By contrast, a test is criterion-referenced when provision is made for translating the test score into a statement about the behavior to be expected of a person with that score. The same test can be used in both ways. [1] Robert Glaser originally coined both terms. [2]
