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 1, English, - Raven%20Progressive%20Matrices%20Test
