Mise en garde : il ne faut pas confondre les expressions «test des phrases à compléter»(sentence completion test) et «test des phrases inachevées»(incomplete sentence test, voir cette fiche). Ces expressions ne sont pas synonymes. Le «test des phrases à compléter» est utilisé surtout pour évaluer la compréhension de textes tandis que le «test des phrases inachevées» est une épreuve projective où le sujet répond librement permettant ainsi de dégager certains traits de personnalité. 2, record 1, French, - test%20des%20phrases%20%C3%A0%20compl%C3%A9ter

The failure of gas to form after incubation is called a negative test. The appearance of gas and the accompanying cloudiness in the broth is called a positive presumptive test. There are some bacteria other than coliforms that occasionally produce gas in lactose. Because of this, it is usually necessary to perform another test, called the confirmed test, to prove that it was really the coliform bacteria that produced the gas in the positive presumptive tube. ... In some cases, a third procedure, called the completed test, may have to be performed. 1, record 3, English, - completed%20test

Tests de complètement. Ebbinghaus (...) a établi un test d’intelligence constitué par un texte dans lequel manquent des mots, le sujet devant combler les lacunes. La méthode a été étendue et appliquée sous diverses formes: chiffres manquant dans une opération arithmétique, signes dans une équation, lettres dans un mot, ou encore lacunes d’une image. La solution n’est pas nécessairement univoque. 3, record 4, French, - test%20de%20compl%C3%A8tement
