Assertion: Performance tests require subjects to manipulate objects and other materials to perform a task.

Reasoning: A major advantage of performance tests is that they can be easily administered to persons from different cultures.

Both Assertion and Reasoning are true, but the Reasoning does not explain the Assertion.

Performance tests require subjects to manipulate objects and other materials to perform a task. Written language is not necessary for answering the items. For example, Kohs’ Block Design Test contains a number of wooden blocks. The subject is asked to arrange the blocks within a time period to produce a given design. A major advantage of performance tests is that they can be easily administered to persons from different cultures.
