The importance of conducting the study in Jordan stems from the fact that public and private universities have begun to move away from the traditional patterns of tests such (PPTs) and went towards (CBTs), In addition to detecting which models give the best in the output and has the characteristics of the psychometric test, Furthermore indicates whether there were differences between males and females, the study sample consisted of 120 individuals, 67 females and 53 males from scientific, health and humanities colleges.
