Culture-fair testing : Any intelligence test that makes use of language is likely to be culturally biased. Consequently, attempts have been made to produce language-free culture-fair tests that would be equally difficult for members of any culture. Initial efforts generally relied on pictures and nonverbal instructions, but these still tended to favor some cultures... there are tests that are self-explanatory and do not require pictures of familiar objects. One of the most widely used culture-fair tests is the Raven Progressive Matrices Test... In this test... people from cultures in which fill-in or matching exercises are more common may be more likely to do well than people from other cultures. To date [1982], no one test has been developed that is completely culture-fair. 1, record 4, English, - Raven%20Progressive%20Matrices%20Test

Rhizobium. Fixatrices d'azote atmosphérique, ces bactéries se développent sur les racines et forment des nodules (nodosités), visibles chez de nombreuses légumineuses. Elles fournissent ainsi de l'azote organique aux plantes hôtes, qui le fixent au niveau de leurs organes aériens et souterrains. L'introduction d'une légumineuse ayant des rhizobiums actifs dans l'assolement permet d'enrichir en azote les sols cultivés. Dans ceux qui sont dépourvus de rhizobiums, on peut inoculer ces bactéries de façon à accroître la productivité de la légumineuse. 2, record 5, French, - inoculum%20de%20rhizobiums
