Abstract
A multidimensional scaling of test situations indicates that tests can differ in their tension- (or anxiety-) arousing properties, at least as a function of (a) the subjective importance of the test and (b) how well prepared the person feels for the test. Different points of view about the influence of these two variables are assessed. Relationships among the points of view, test anxiety, test performance, defensiveness, and acquiescence are examined.
