Domain Referenced - Psychometric Glossary
This refers to assessing the subject’s performance on a test on the extent to which it fulfils the requirements of a particular ‘domain’ (e.g. ‘accountancy knowledge’), rather than how the subject has done against other people who has sat the test in the past. Since the performance of a subject on a certain type of test can be related to their ability to perform on a particular job or task, a domain referenced test takes into account what level of performance the subject would need to achieve on the test in order to be able to perform the job at an adequate level.
