A similar exhibition held last month in Tsim Sha Tsui had attracted over 9,500 visitors and about 1,000 of them had taken part in the quiz.
"More than 30 per cent of the participants could not get all the answers correct. This showed that some people still have misunderstandings about the working abilities of the disabled," Mrs Chor said.
"We hope that through our promotional efforts, prejudice against the disabled can be dispelled," she added.
The exhibition, to be held at the Atrium Gallery, Phase Three, New Town Plaza, Sha Tin, will be open between 10.30 am and 6:30 pm from August 18 to 20.
Mrs Chor also said the annual "Outstanding Disabled Employees Award" was inviting nominations until August 20.
Interested parties can contact Miss Yung of the Publicity and Promotion Unit of SPD on 2852 4803 for nominations.
