Such tests enable administrators to directly measure results, without using more subjective criteria that often involve a preference for a particular teaching methodology, or, worse, the subjective impressions of administrators who may have an issue with a particular teacher.

Then envy may be interpreted so as to involve a preference for the situation in which neither subject nor rival have the good to the one in which rival has it and subject does not.[12] Call this the "envious preference".
Sex inequality among children is another area of concern, especially among states in North India, involving a strong preference for sons, widespread female feticide, and declining sex ratio at birth (11).

Thus in the western corn rootworm beetle (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera), behavioural resistance to maize/soybean rotations is because of an evolved change in host preference involving a loss of fidelity for maize in female beetles (Knolhoff et al. 2006; Gray et al. 2009).
