Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Culture-fair tests are designed to minimize the influence of cultural and linguistic background on test performance. Therefore, they typically focus on cognitive abilities that are less dependent on specific cultural experiences, such as problem-solving skills. Items that assess vocabulary, motivation, or verbal abilities could be influenced by linguistic and cultural factors, and may not be equally accessible to all test-takers. Thus, choice B is the best option.
