Question: Is it really possible to measure thinking skills? Is it really possible to measure someones thinking skills? For me, it is possible to measure someones thinking capabilities and skills but its not as accurate as others think it is. There are various IQ tests up online and most people rely on IQ test and some word games; some thought it is the way on measuring ones thinking skills but I think, it is not enough to measure the exact level of ones thinking. A person can change the way he think or see stuff. In a single snap anything can change, the way how a kid think may change when he or she got scared or got motivated. Thinking skills or capabilities also matter on the persons current environment. If the person is emotionally unstable it can affect how someone think, if theyre under pressure, if they are sick, there might be a way to see how a person think and their capabilities but you cannot get the exact result. It is hard to get someones thinking skills without observing them in almost every situation possible. Some equipment, and Scenarios could be needed in the process to know how a person can react or use his or her thinking skills to be able to get through a certain situation or obstacle might be needed .

Most of the time larger companies push smaller companies to adapt the latest technology in order to do business with them. It is somehow a necessity between company tie ups and relationships.

C.) Low-Voltages proposed system is not a transaction processing system. A Transaction System is a system that is used for a more convenient and accurate transactions, also known as Point of Sale System. Low-Voltages proposed system is a program that is linked to a system that process relevant purchase information and use it to obtain the shipping information and products availability, it speeds up orders and purchase and makes it more convenient to both sides. The other partys purchasing system will send orders to Low Voltages system and it will process the information and check for how long it would take for the other partys order to be available. It calculates the time and availability of the product. D.) ERP system or Enterprise Resource Planning, these Systems are built for the World Wide Web mostly called the internet world.

The Low-Voltage Company should consider using ERP system for it has lots of advantages that can make them more reliable, also ERP system would do the ground-work needed for full implementation of EDI.

Mini Case: Rainbows End Interview Situation: A.) Structured development, object oriented development, and agile development are the three types of approach when it comes to software development and design. Structured development follows a step-by-step approach logically.
