German term or phrase: Aufgabenstamm
A description of a 3x3 field matrix test.

Es soll versucht werden, diese Gesetzmäßigkeiten zu verstehen und zu schlussfolgern, wie die Matrix sinnvoll ergänzt werden kann. Der Proband ist aufgefordert, das fehlende Muster aus vorgegebenen Bausteinen aktiv zu konstruieren. Die korrekte Lösung kann also **nicht durch Raten oder einen Abgleich von Aufgabenstamm und Antwortformat erfolgen,** wodurch XXX auch im höheren Bereich der Intelligenzverteilung eingesetzt werden kann.

I don't understand the whole phrase marked with asterisks, but the Aufgabenstamm has me particularly stumped.

Thanks!

question stem
Explanation:
The straightforward equivalent seems to exist in English:

"Multiple choice items consist of a stem and a set of options. The stem is the beginning part of the item that presents the item as a problem to be solved, a question asked of the respondent, or an incomplete statement to be completed, as well as any other relevant information. The options are the possible answers that the examiner can choose from, with the correct answer called the key and the incorrect answers called distractors."

And the phrase in asterisks means (as I understand it), that you don't get any clues from the wording or format of the 'question stem' that would allow to guess or infer the answer with better success rate than the mere statistical probability of getting it right by chance.
