[...] l'item de type appariement n'est qu'une variante de l'item à choix de réponses. [...] Dans un item de ce genre, on présente d'abord une série d'énoncés qui constitue l'ensemble-stimuli. À chacun des éléments de ce premier ensemble, on demande à l'étudiant d'associer un élément faisant partie d'un deuxième ensemble, l'ensemble-réponses. [...] Habituellement, l'ensemble-stimuli est placé à gauche et il est plus long à lire, même s'il peut comporter moins d'éléments que l'ensemble-réponses placé à droite.
