ADDITIONAL NOTES QUESTION 1:
Chapter 3: Basic measurement and statistical concepts
(Foxcroft, C., 2018).
The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test can be described as a/n … test. Choose the most correct answer.
(1) outcomes based
(2) criterion-referenced
(3) norm-referenced
(4) comparative
Answer = 3
ADDITIONAL NOTES QUESTION 2:
The difference between a norm-referenced and a criterion-referenced test is explained in Section 3.6 in the textbook.
In the case of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, the performance of an individual is compared to the performance of a
representative group (the norm group), and the test is therefore norm-referenced. To be able to use the test in South
Africa, the performance for a group that is representative of the South African population should be determined (the aim
of the study by Gadd and Phipps, 2012). This group will then be a suitable norm group for the local context.
Question 3: (this answer comes from the feedback of the 2021 quiz)

representative than the present sample in terms of …
