THE LTP TEST
WHAT IS THE LTP TEST...
THE LTP TEST IS AN OBJECTIVE METRIC CREATED TO SHOW HOW MUCH DIVERSITY IS PRESENT IN PAST & PRESENT
THE LTP TEST ASSIGNS 10 POINTS PER CATEGORY. THE VALUE OF THE POINTS THEMSELVES - THE NUMBER '10' - IS ARBITRARY AND EXTRANEOUS. WE COULD HAVE ASSIGNED EACH CATEGORY A STAR OR A UNICORN OR JOHN OLIVER'S SILHOUETTE. THAT IS TO SAY - THE TOTAL NUMBER OF POINTS WILL NOT REVEAL HOW CLOSE A PIECE OF WORK IS TO REACHING '100' - MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IT WILL SHOW HOW FAR AWAY THE WORK IS FROM '0'. YOU'LL SEE WHAT WE MEAN...
