Iwould suggest the myers-briggs type indicator because the railroad unions are looking for which are focused introverts. the mbti was designed to provide a lot of information about what a person likes and what their personality based on the four-dimension scale. also for an employer it has been extremely to predict how an employee would act in a professional setting. this is what the railroad unions are looking for. they want the railroad workers to be focused and skillful to ensure the safety of everyone around them. but the other assessments don't match the criteria for the unions. like the measure disorder, emotions and self-esteem while the rorschach and tat tests are both projective tests that mainly measure someone’s personality. also, because this job is not easy, it is vital to make sure the employers are hiring the right people for the job.

There really doesn't seem to be anything remotely advanced about this question, especially for high school.that being said, the actual correct answer may depend on the lesson you received.but i'll use common knowledge to you out here.  an atlas is a map, a flat map which depicts the world, all the continents and large bodies of water and etc.  an almanac is basically a yearly calendar. this depicts all the stuff that happened during the year it was released after, such as important events, sporting stuff, astronomical data, etc. it really depends on what type of almanac you go for.encyclopedias contain vast knowledge about just about everything important around the globe. each encyclopedia is generally focused on a topic and it's relating topics, ordered by each book alphabetically.  information resource can be anything. internet, newspaper, talking dog of pure wisdom (joking), the bible (or the religious book for whatever religion is in question), etc. all of these are considered information resources, as they all provide information on their respective topics (the internet is pretty much all topics)now, once again, your true answer will be based on whatever it is you learned, which i would not know. my answer will simply be using common knowledge.but your answers that line up with weather, sports, and business would be an almanac, information resources, and encyclopedia.  unfortunately, in today's world, they have books for everything. they have almanacs for weather, sports, and business, and they also have encyclopedia's for those as well. and of course, you can find all of that using information resources as well.  the only truly incorrect answer here is atlases.  ~hope this !
