Zackary Arroyo · Answer 1

Option D.

In-basket test versus leaderless group discussion

Explanation:

In education, there are different testing methods which have different characteristics and objectives:

Group tests are tests administered to a lot of people at once, while in individual testing the candidates have one-on-one discussions with the examiners.

Objective tests are tests that are designed to test objectivity. They are usually in the form of true / false or multiple choice questions, while open ended tests are tests that require more than one-word answer.

Power tests tests test the candidates ability to solve few complex problems in a good amount of time, while speed tests test the candidates ability to solve numerous simple problems when given a little time.

We can see the sharp disparities between the compared testing methods. this makes it easy to spot the odd one out.

In blanket tests and leaderless group discussions are similar, and cannot be considered as one of the distinguishing characteristics of tests.

This makes D the correct option

Answer: d. In-basket test versus leaderless group discussion

Explanation:

The four characteristic types of tests are:

-Group vs individually administered tests.

-Objective vs open-ended tests.

-Paper and pencil (or pen and paper) vs performance tests.

-Power vs speed tests.

An individually administered test will require a one to one administrator, whereas a group test can be easily done with only one administrator for a large group.

Objective vs open-ended. Whereas an objective test requires a choice to be made from different responses, an open-ended test requires the subject to generate a response.

A performance test may require the use of specific equipment or tool.

Whereas a speed test measures the number of questions that can be answered correctly in a specific amount of time, a power test has less but more complex questions.
