The correct answer is a performance test, as these assessments are focused on evaluating an individual's physical abilities and skills, particularly involving hand-eye coordination, muscle memory, and other physical attributes necessary for tasks that require a specific level of motor skills.

Performance tests are practical in nature; they assess an individual’s ability to perform certain tasks or activities under observation. This type of test is commonly used in various fields, including sports and physical education, to measure the execution of skills that require coordination and physical effort.

In contrast, the other types of tests mentioned look at different aspects of evaluation. A norm-referenced test compares an individual's performance to a larger group, typically using standardized scores, without focusing specifically on coordination skills. Cognitive tests evaluate mental processes such as understanding, reasoning, and problem-solving, which do not directly pertain to physical or motor skills. Affective tests measure attitudes, feelings, and values, and again do not relate to physical performance. Therefore, performance tests are specifically tailored to address the coordination and physical capabilities that the question emphasizes.
