About a month ago I started working on the Application
and Theory in Behavioural Science Test (AT BeST). It went through the first
round of testing (yes, testing the test) when the difficulty of the questions
was assessed.
According
to the corrected difficulty score, which I computed using a secret formula, this is the easiest
question of the test:
In an experiment the
group of participants who receive a neutral stimulus or no stimulus at all is
called:
a. The control group.
b. The treatment group.
c. The spare group.
d. The backup group.
The most
difficult question was the following:
Which theory acknowledges the
existence of the two systems of thinking, but claims that System 1 is the one
that makes rational / optimal decisions whereas system 2 is the one prone to
error:
a. Developmental Theory
b. Fuzzy Trace Theory
c. Theory of Reasoned Action
d. Dual-System of Reasoning Theory
In fact, there
was no correct answer given to this question…
All the
other 99 questions progress smoothly between the two
Thank you to all the volunteer testers: Eric,
Chris, Gerhard, Richard, Nandu, Baki, Sarah, Niels, Paul, Peter, Michiel,
Nancy, Richard, Eline, Eveline, Arjan and Robin.
Congratulations to Robin who is the Top Scorer
up to date!
Work continues
and soon I’ll need someone who can do the technical (IT) work. Any volunteers?
