The assessment technique that involves the use of tests in which a person responds without knowing what aspect of behavior is being evaluated is:
a. T-data. c.
L-data. b.
Q-data. d.
P-data.
ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The T-data technique involves the use of what Cattell called "objective" tests, in which a person responds without knowing what aspect of behavior is being evaluated. These tests circumvent the Q-data's shortcomings by making it difficult for a subject to know precisely what a test is measuring.
