What this basic programming measures
This basic programming quiz estimates self-reported programming basics recall patterns across four domains. Twenty original agree-disagree items group into variables types, logic flow, loops iteration, debugging habits. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your programming basics index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed programming basics recall on this screener.
Variables types
Variables constants and basic data type facts.
Logic flow
Conditional logic boolean tests and branch facts.
Loops iteration
For while loops and iteration control facts.
Debugging habits
Syntax errors tests and debugging habit facts.
How it works
Answer 20 agree-disagree items
Rate each agree-disagree statement from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. You click Next after each answer; there is no auto-advance.
Items map to domains and intimacy stack
Answers accumulate percentages for four primary domains plus four fear-of-intimacy stack layers.
View index, band, and charts
Results show Lower, Mixed, or Higher signal bands with domain bars and stack chart.

What your result means
Your programming basics index is the normalized total across all 20 items on a 0 to 100 scale. Domain bars show which pattern drives your result most. The fear-of-intimacy stack chart shows parallel closeness-guarding layers.
| Band | Index range | Typical reading |
|---|---|---|
| Lower Programming Basics | 0 to 35 | Gaps in programming basics recall recall are common without recent Introductory programming logic and syntax literacy units review |
| Mixed Programming Basics | 36 to 65 | Solid recall mixed with fuzzy spots worth targeting before mock exams |
| Higher Programming Basics | 66 to 100 | Steady recall across domains; still not a substitute for proctored AP exams |
