Key Points Statement (I) : Achievement and aptitude tests are designed to assess the upper limits of the examinees' knowledge and abilities.
- Achievement test
- it refers to assessments in which scores are often used to determine the level of instruction for which a student is prepared.
- High achievement scores generally indicate that a level of mastery of grade-level material has been reached and that the student is prepared for advanced instruction.
- Aptitude tests

- A personality test is a tool used to assess human personality.
- Objective personality test
- It uses clear and unambiguous questions, stimuli, or techniques for measuring personality traits.
- it is a self-reporting system that measures personality traits on a yes or no scale.
- Projective personality tests
- it uses designed to let a person respond to ambiguous stimuli, presumably revealing hidden emotions and internal conflicts projected by the person into the test.
- The most commonly used projective techniques are the Rorschach, the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), figure drawings, and sentence completion tests.
Hence we can conclude Statement II is correct
Thus we conclude that Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct
