Answer 1

Cognitive ability test is the type of test which measured vocabulary and mathematical skills. Whereas the remaining types of tests are used in other aspects. A test of cognitive ability type will assess reasoning skills, mathematical skills, and verbal skills. Intelligence, such as numerical capacity and reasoning, is assessed by a cognitive ability test. One example of a cognitive ability test is the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). It is important to remember that certain tests for cognitive ability may have a disparate impact.

Reliable is something that we can conclude about these test scores if an individual takes different personality tests and receives similar scores each time. Reliability refers to test scores' consistency, stability, and relative accuracy. The level to which the test scores are without an error in measurement.
