	By analyzing assessment techniques and their use with the model described above, we were able to identify 27 characteristics that applied to all of them.		By analyzing assessment techniques and their use with the model described above, we were able to identify 28 characteristics that applied to all of them.

	First, as for any instrument, like for instance a thermometer for measuring temperature, some evident and often physical elements will be distinct upfront, from outside, before even considering using the tool. For a thermometer, it may be its color, weight, and what it looks like. For assessment techniques, we refer to those characteristics as the upfront characteristics.

For a thermometer, it may be its color, weight, and what it looks like. For assessment techniques, we refer to those characteristics as the upfront characteristics.

	Second, you consider how the measure is effectively assessed, which for the case of temperature, may be its liquid-filled glass tubes, thermistors, or more recently, its atom-based device. In our case with assessment techniques, we found 13 distinct characteristics that we’ve referred to as intrinsic qualities.		Second, you consider how the measure is effectively assessed, which for the case of temperature, may be its liquid-filled glass tubes, thermistors, or more recently, its atom-based device. In our case with assessment techniques, we found 10 distinct characteristics that we’ve referred to as intrinsic qualities.

	Third, the information being produced may be relevant for different applications. In the case of thermometers, those used for very low temperatures, below -150°C (-240°F), also called cryogenic temperatures, are cryometers. Those used with very high temperatures by detecting thermal radiation, called pirometers, are used by volcanologists. For assessment techniques, we refer to this as extrinsic qualities.
