Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An aptitude test measures an individual's ability to learn or perform in situations not previously encountered, which aligns with Jennifer solving complex puzzles she has not seen before. Achievement tests, on the other hand, assess knowledge or skills in specific areas based on what has been learned or taught, which does not match the description. The Sternberg Triarchic Abilities Test (STAT) and the Stanford-Binet test are specific examples of psychological assessments, but the scenario does not provide enough detail to identify the test as either of these specifically. The mention of "an Ikea assembly" is clearly a humorous option and not related to psychological testing.
