Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A culture-fair test is designed to minimize the impact of cultural background on test results and to provide a fair assessment of cognitive abilities. As such, the test items are typically designed to be independent of cultural knowledge and verbal skills, and rely on other skills such as spatial reasoning, logic, and pattern recognition. Therefore, items on a culture-fair test often require the use of nonverbal abilities, such as matching or rotating objects, rather than requiring specific knowledge of historical figures or musical or verbal skills.
