Comment by Lee Belbin (@Tasilee) migrated from spreadsheet: Added post scoring for consistency

[tucotuco]

Agreed at TDWG 2018 DQIG meeting that the original assessment of the core nature of the test was correct based on consistency with other tests and participation in dependencies for other tests.

[Tasilee]

Splitting bdqffdq:Information Elements into "Information Elements ActedUpon" and "Information Elements Consulted". Also changed "Fields" to "TestField" and "Output Type" to "TestType".
