Thank you We sneak And here's your shmoop too sure

00:06

brought to you by mechanics the only people in the

00:08

world who can truly pull off overalls All right leanne

00:13

wants to be a mechanic so she takes a mechanical

00:15

ability test Which type of test is she taking and

00:18

hear The potential answers our achievements and our eyes Fluid

00:21

aptitude practical Alright well the key to this answer isn't

00:25

a focus on the phrase mechanical ability she's testing her

00:28

specific ability or henschel ability to perform in a certain

00:32

area in this case mechanical bearing that mind we know

00:35

that this is not an achievement test and achievement test

00:39

is designed to test one's developed skills or knowledge like

00:42

a history exam or a swimming test But leann clearly

00:45

hasn't trained to be a mechanic yet So unless this

00:47

test is designed to assess your ability to dress like

00:50

a mechanic it's not our answers So cross out eh

00:53

And it's Not necessarily a standardized test heater Of course

00:56

there could be a version of a mechanical ability test

00:59

that is standardized but that's not necessarily the case as

01:02

different mechanic apprenticeships and training programs could use different testing

01:06

methods And as we don't have that information While we

01:09

can't conclusively say the answer is b Answer C is

01:14

definitely not correct either Fluid intelligence testing actually refers to

01:17

attest that tests once fluid intelligence by either ability to

01:22

adapt and problem solving unf amillia scenarios Of course the

01:25

test she's taking could include this form of testing but

01:28

it's not the right answer either The test could be

01:30

a practical test which simply describes a hands on test

01:34

that confirms someone's actual ability or skill But since we're

01:37

looking for the most accurate and correct answer here we're

01:40

looking for the aptitude test An aptitude test like a

01:43

career aptitude test is designed to test what someone is

01:46

capable of doing either by seeing what they currently can

01:49

d'oh or by assessing their mechanical aptitude and therefore future

01:52

potential as a mechanic And if she's lucky well they'll 00:01:55.694 --> [endTime] score bonus points for the looking
