There are nine elements to consider when selecting a test. You will focus on the first four of these elements for this assignment.In your paper:Identify a test category that is relevant to your academic and professional career goals.

They include (1) intelligence/cognitive abilities, (2) achievement/aptitude, (3) personality, (4) behavior, (5) adaptive behavior, (6) neuropsychological, (7) career/business/organization, (8) autism, (9) depression, (10) preschool, and (11) behavior analytic skill assessments.Select three tests from a single category using the List of Tests by Type document. (Note: If you have an interest in a particular test that is not on this list, then you may, as an option, submit a request to your instructor to include it in your first assignment with two other tests on the list in the same category. Your instructor will review it and determine if you may proceed with including that test in your assignment or recommend that you select three tests from the list.)Compare and contrast these three tests according to the Code's first four elements.Access the Capella library and conduct a search.
