Evaluating Historical Assessment Methods

During World War I, a new recruit who recently immigrated from a rural, non-English-speaking country is required to take a written, group-administered examination. The test is in English and includes questions about American cultural norms, analogies, and vocabulary that would be common in an urban American school at the time. Analyze the primary factor that would likely lead to this test being an inaccurate measure of the recruit's actual cognitive abilities, and explain your reasoning.
