Description
The study I am doing is on the Competitiveness Scale
I have to two test and two article summaries. I will provide the articles and what needs to be summarized.
I will attach the teachers instructions, the template she said to use for reference for writing the summaries (wants it like an annotated bib) and will also provide attachments of all the files needed to do this assignment.
First part needs to be the personality scale (there is details of what needs to be answered in that part), next needs to be the comparison scale (again all details of what needs to be answered will be attached)
Next will be the article, then the additional article.
So there is a total of four different sections of what needs a literature and test summary.

The test included 20 items that were measured and graded according to agreement and
disagreement on a subscale of 1 to 7 by the individual. On the other hand reverse items in the test
were ll.
From the scale, it is evident that higher scores indicated a competitive individual while
lower scores denoted a less competitive individual. From the assessment, it is evident that the test
would be utilized in assessing the personalities of an individual and suitability to a career. To
determine the effectiveness of the competitive index (CI), a total of 255 individuals partook the
test (158 nurses and 97 attorneys). Regarding internal validity, the test contained a stable factor
loading across the samples, ensuring that the data collected is valid. External validity, on the other
hand, was quantified by discriminant analysis to determine the ability of the CI in the prediction
of occupation.
Regarding the comparison scale, there was an ini...
