Test Items

Famous quotes containing the words test and/or items:

“The difference between writing a book and being on television is the difference between conceiving a child and having a baby made in a test tube.”

“In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes. Sensations are the items of consciousness—a color, a weight, a texture—that we tend to think of as simple and single. Perceptions are complex affairs that embrace sensation together with other, associated or revived contents of the mind, including emotions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
