Purpose

The tests overlap in some reasoning demands but differ in purpose, content, preparation, scaling, and interpretation.

Begin with purpose rather than asking which score is universally better.

Measurement differences

Compare content, limits, norms, reliability, validity, preparation, and decision rules.

Correlation does not make measures interchangeable.

What to use

Use evidence validated for the question. Admissions, clinical evaluation, grades, creativity, and emotion need different evidence.

Do not convert scores without a justified publisher method.
