Angela is taking an intelligence test. After struggling to answer several questions, the test administrator says “Thank you, let’s move on to the next section.” What is this stage of the test taking procedure called?
  1. Inferential level
  2. Completion level
  3. Ceiling level
  4. Basal level
Explanation
Answer: C - This stage is called the ceiling level. The ceiling level is a stage in a test achieved by the test taker by meeting criteria that allow them to discontinue testing. Typically, a ceiling level is met by answering a preset number of questions incorrectly. This prevents a test taker from answering a large number of questions incorrectly, which takes time and could discourage the test taker.
