Biodata

Biodata is the shortened form for biographical data.

The term has two usages: (1) In South Asia, the term carries the same meaning as a résumé or curriculum vitae (CV), for the purposes of jobs, grants, and marriage. (2) In industrial and organizational psychology, it is used as a predictor for future behaviours; in this sense, Biodata is "...factual kinds of questions about life and work experiences, as well as items involving opinions, values, beliefs, and attitudes that reflect a historical perspective."
