Multiple choice tests are not considered to determine learning of a manipulative skill. The correct answer could be chosen by guessing and not by skill.

I think to test manipulative skill 1 - a multiple choice test is a good start. Also if you could fashion a question to make the test subject answer in such a way to be able to figure which manipulative skills the test subject possesses. then you could validate the measurement of the manipulative skill the subject has attained.

Not sure if its what you are looking for, but if someone if skilled at manipulation, he or she is manipulative.

A multiple choice test is usually not valid to determine learning of manipulative skills. Instead, the student should be able to manipulate the items to prove mastery.

Observing, comparing, classifying, quantifying, interfering, predicting, communicating & manipulative skills.
