Below is a sample quantitative task and its corresponding other document stimulus material, which is a newspaper advertisement. The respondent must use text search skills, computational identification skills, and computational performance skills to answer the question, while not getting distracted by “5.25%,” which is a typographical inhibitor whose size and boldness draw the respondent’s attention away from the correct answer. The numbers needed to calculate the answer are located in smaller type at the bottom of the advertisement. So to answer correctly, respondents should orally explain that they first would multiply $156.77 and 120, and then calculate the difference of that total and $10,000.
