Language testing in the context of the government and military most often refers to measuring language proficiency: the functional ability of personnel to complete operational tasks in the target language. While many associate government and military testing with proficiency testing, both government and military also rely on performance, aptitude, diagnostic, and achievement tests. Worldwide, government and military organizations face ever‐increasing demands for personnel with various levels of language ability, providing a continual need for testing.
