APPLICATION

(practical assignments)
General Scoring Guidelines
AC (Abstract Complete) – provides a full explanation of the metaphor, using a superordinate category that is pertinent for both the vehicle and topic of the metaphor.
AP (Abstract Partial) – provides an abstract explanation that is incomplete; or uses a super-ordinate category that is correct but less pertinent to both the topic and the vehicle.
CT (Concrete) – provides a response that is indicative of concrete thinking (e.g., concentrates on physical similarities when a pertinent functional similarity is present; provides a literally true statement that does not explain the similarity).
OT (Other) – Clearly wrong responses, but not evidently due to concreteness.

If more than one response is given, use the full response if it is part of the same idea/explanation and use the last response if it is a new idea/explanation.
