A little light peer review
Hello, bobrayner (talk) 00:27, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Starting an article from scratch is quite hard (harder than building on one that somebody else started). It's off to a relatively good start.
 * Overall, I think the article has a good structure but there are some empty sections - are you planning to put some content in these? Setting out with an obvious framework for the article's structure is a Good Thing, but the downside is that whilst it's under construction, big gaps are visible.
 * However, copyright violation can be a serious problem. Parts of it seem to be identical to other content on the internet . That must be fixed.
 * Nice choice of sources, and references have been used well. It wouldn't hurt to find some more sources, of course - to help cover more ground because at the moment it's quite tightly focussed on Wiesen and Barron's.
 * Prose addressed to "you" is not ideal. It's only a trivial thing but with a little rephrasing, it would read more like an encyclopaedia article and less like an instruction manual.
 * Otherwise, the text is easy to read and neutral; spelling, grammar, and layout are good.
 * It's a little surprising to read that tests are made more gender-neutral by including things that women understand, like kitchen implements. It's probably not a problem but it does have a slightly worrying undertone. Does Murchinsky really say that? (Possibly in reference to some older study)

BSU Team
Obviously, the background and uses sections must be completed. What is the hold up here? Article history shows me edits only from 2 of the 3 team members. Mjtagler (talk) 17:42, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Type of Tests Edit
Hi Wiki-editors,

I'm a student in an I/O Psychology course at CUNY York College as part of an assignment, editing articles on wikipedia is required. Here is a link of the information I will place on the article.

So what do you think, I would like get some feedback.

Thanks,
