What Casper actually measures

The test, the ten qualities behind it, and the one idea this whole course is built on.

·

Key takeaways

  • Quality language scores when it's attached to an action and a reason
  • It's relative: you're compared with other test-takers
  • The top quartile explains why, specific to the scenario
