No, the term "theoretical" is not the correct answer. The term you are looking for is "operational" definition. The operational definition refers to the specific way in which a variable is measured in a study. In this case, Dr. Caulfiel intends to measure test anxiety levels using a self-reported test-anxiety level questionnaire with categories such as "high," "moderate," or "low."

Yes, "theoretical" is the right answer in this context. The term "theoretical" is used to describe the conceptual or abstract understanding of a concept or phenomenon. In this case, Dr. Caulfiel has defined test anxiety theoretically by categorizing it into three levels: high, moderate, and low. This theoretical understanding will be used as the basis for his research and the questionnaire responses from the high school students will be used to assess their self-reported test-anxiety levels.
