I was unfamiliar with this test. The experience of this test was indifferent. The result of the intelligent test was quite different as I did not have any idea about the culture of the Edward River Community in Far North Queensland. I did not understand the answer key of this test as the whole item was related to a particular culture. A test taker’s culture influences their results as the items in the test were familiar to the particular culture. Those people who belong to those cultures can be able to understand those items in the IQ test and would score high. While, those test takers who have no idea about this would score low. Such items in IQ test only assess the knowledge and experiences that are specific to a certain culture.
