Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A culture-fair test is designed to minimize cultural bias and assess cognitive abilities independent of cultural background. The test described in the question, in which Marta is asked to identify patterns and complete sequences, is an example of a culture-fair test. The other options are not applicable in this scenario; a culture-free test assumes that language and culture do not affect performance, a diversity test measures awareness and attitudes towards diversity, and the SAT is a college entrance exam, not a cognitive assessment for young children.
