(A) Group test — this matches (II) Can be administered to several persons simultaneously. An individual test is given to one person at a time; a group intelligence test can be administered to several persons simultaneously, usually with written, multiple-choice answers.
(B) Culture fair — this matches (I) Can be applied meaningfully to all cultures. Many tests are biased towards the culture in which they were developed, so psychologists have tried to develop tests that are culture-fair or culturally appropriate.
(C) Verbal test — this matches (III) Requires verbal response in either oral or written form. Verbal tests require subjects to give verbal responses either orally or in a written form, so they can be given only to literate people.

NCERT (2025-26): “Individual or Group Tests … An individual intelligence test is one which can be administered to one person at a time. A group intelligence test can be administered to several persons simultaneously. Individual tests require the test administrator to establish a rapport with the subject and be sensitive to her/his feelings, moods and expressions during the testing session. Group tests, however, do not allow an opportunity to be familiar with the subjects’ feelings. Individual tests allow people to answer orally or in a written form or manipulate objects as per the tester’s instructions. Group tests generally seek written answers usually in a multiple-choice format.…” “Verbal, Non-Verbal, or Performance Tests … Verbal tests require subjects to give verbal responses either orally or in a written form. Therefore, verbal tests can be administered only to literate people.…” “Verbal, Non-Verbal, or Performance Tests … 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.…” “Culture-Fair or Culture-Biased Tests … It is nearly impossible to design a test that can be applied equally meaningfully in all cultures. Psychologists have tried to develop tests that are culture-fair or culturally appropriate, i.e. one that does not discriminate against individuals belonging to different cultures.…” |
