Test Bank
Chapter One
In this test bank for The Cultural Dimensions of International Business, 7e, the questions
are tagged according to the six levels of learning that help organize the text. Think of
these six levels as moving from lower- to higher-level cognitive reasoning. The six levels
are:
REMEMBER: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material
UNDERSTAND: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideas
APPLY: a question applying sociological knowledge to some new situation
ANALYZE: a question requiring identifying elements of an argument and their
interrelationship
EVALUATE: a question requiring critical assessment
CREATE: a question requiring the generation of new ideas
The 30 questions in this chapter’s test bank are divided into two types. Multiple Choice
questions span the broadest range of skills (almost half are “Remember” questions and
the remainder are divided among four higher levels). Essay Questions are more
demanding, because they include the three highest levels of cognitive reasoning (from
“Analyze” to “Create”).
