We have objective performance scales
for each of these tests for each of our positions. To average in the superior
range for all of these tests is an accomplishment achieved by very few. It is
indeed an elite group.
The performance scale system was developed from
research including top professional and college strength program's results, along
with the 20 plus years of testing data archived here at Virginia Tech.
