What’s the difference between tests and surveys?

test provides information on how an individual client scores on certain factors (e.g., personality characteristics). Typically, a survey provides group-level analysis on single questions or groups of questions. A test and a survey could have the same questions, but the results and how they are used would be different.

Tests are psychometric instruments designed to measure the psychological characteristics of an individual, such as personality, attitudes, values, or intelligence. Typically, tests are used to provide information about an individual. The results of a test are usually reported at the characteristic level (for example, a score on Risk Composure).

Surveys are questionnaires designed to measure group-level attitudes, sentiments, or reactions (to name a few). Survey results are usually reported at the group level and for specific questions (or items).
