The criteria she has for choosing a job include salary, and the distance of the workplace

[alpacinou]

I want to say someone has a set of standards to make a decision. Can I use "criteria"?

Are these correct?

1. The criteria she has for choosing a job include salary, and the distance of the workplace from her house.

2. The criteria she has for choosing a country for emigration include the level of social welfare and also freedom.

3. The criteria she has for a good spouse are being rich and also being kind and tall.

4. The criteria they have for scoring the TOEFL exam are grammar, fluency and knowledge of vocabulary.

5. The criteria they have for hiring new employees include being punctual and being a good team player.

How many countries has she lived in? It's a weird sentence to me.

@alpacinou When you use "include" do you mean those things are being considered, but there are other things in the mix?
