Match the following: List - I (Test) (a) Stanford-Binet Test (b) Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test (c) Myers-Briggs Test List - II (Measures) (i) Finger/hand dexterity (ii) Personality (iii) Memory / mental ability
(a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii)
Each selection test is matched to the human quality it is designed to measure, distinguishing cognitive, psychomotor and personality tests.
The Stanford-Binet Test is a classic test of intelligence and general mental ability - the original individual IQ test - so among the given measures it maps to the memory / mental-ability category, giving (a)-(iii). The Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test is a manual-dexterity test in which the subject places, turns and displaces blocks against time, measuring finger and hand dexterity, so (b)-(i). The Myers-Briggs Test is a personality inventory that sorts people into personality types on four dichotomies, so (c)-(ii).
Putting these together gives (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), which is the second code. The clarifying contrast is that the three tests belong to three different families of selection instrument: Stanford-Binet is cognitive (ability), Minnesota is psychomotor (dexterity), and Myers-Briggs is a personality measure.
Hence the correct match is (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii).
