When test takers lack the necessary skills or lack the attention span necessary to complete the task, they may engage in random responding, which involves selecting answers without considering the question or the response options. This can result in inaccurate test scores and may not provide useful information about the test-taker's abilities or knowledge. Social desirability involves responding in a way that will be viewed positively by others, while acquiescence involves agreeing with all questions or statements regardless of their content. Withdrawal involves disengaging from the testing process altogether.
