Interviewer instructions

Literacy

Column 8

In order to write the answer to this question, if there is any doubt, keep in mind the following:

In order to mark the first circle, it is necessary that the person know how to read and write. People who only know how to sign, write their name, or a few random words or numbers, or who can only recognize the letters of the alphabet, or a few random words, are not considered able to read or right. In this case, one of the circles in front of "can only read," or "can only write," or "cannot read or right," should be marked, as it corresponds to them.

Do not deduce the answer to this question by their level of instruction. Some people who, years ago, attended some level of primary instruction, might in actuality not know how to read or write.
