How do different forms of a test relate to each other?

All our critical thinking measures of skills and dispositions are based on the expert consensus conceptualization of critical thinking articulated in the APA Delphi Report. Our skills tests are all members of the California Critical Thinking Family of tests. For exact details see the specific information given in the descriptions of each test. This information is expanded on in the User Manual which is included with each test's Specimen Kit.
