TEST 4

If the two words of a pair mean the same or nearly the same, draw a line under same. If they mean the opposite or nearly the opposite, draw a line under opposite. If you cannot be sure, guess. The two samples are already marked as they should be.

The words A EATS COW GRASS in that order are mixed up and don't make a sentence; but they would make a sentence if put in the right order: A COW EATS GRASS, and this statement is true.

Again, the words HORSES FEATHERS HAVE ALL would make a sentence if put in the order ALL HORSES HAVE FEATHERS, but this statement is false.

Some of them are true

Below are twenty-four mixed-up sentences. and some are false. When I say "go," take these sentences one at a time. Think what each would say if the words were straightened out, but don't write them yourself. Then, if what it would say is true, draw a line under the word "true"; if what it would say is false, draw a line under the word "false." If you cannot be sure, guess. The two samples are already marked as they should be. Begin with No. 1 and work right down the page until time is called.

People hear with the eyes ears nose mouth

The correct word is ears, because it makes the truest sentence. In each of the sentences below, you have four choices for the last word. Only one of them is correct. In each sentence draw a line under the one of these four words which makes the truest sentence. If you

cannot be sure, guess. The two samples are already marked as they should be.

66. Sample of an Auditory Scale for Group Measurement of General Intelligence

[Devised by IRA MORRIS GAST, PH.D., 1925.]

The author has devised an auditory scale that may be used by principals and teachers to measure aspects of general intelligence that seem important in grouping pupils for purposes of instruction. Obviously this scale does not measure exactly the same aspects as are measured by other scales. In fact, when the material of this examination is used in visual form it does not measure the same abilities as are measured when used in auditory form.

This auditory scale is not intended as a substitute for other group measures of general intelligence. It does discriminate between pupils with sufficient accuracy to render it a valuable contribution. Much of the work in school is in auditory form; and to depend wholly upon results where situations are presented visually seems undesirable.

The examination is in two forms for use over a wide range, grade low three and upward. No test materials are required by the examiner other than the manual and what may be found in any ordinary classroom.

The examination has been so arranged and standardized that either the first half or the second half may be used alone, or the entire examination may be given. It is adaptable, therefore, according to grade to be measured and the fineness of measures required.

Either half of the examination can be given in thirty minutes. Papers may be scored for responses correct either by the pupils examined or by the examiner. Pupils in upper grades are able to check papers with reasonable accuracy, and thereby greatly reduce the clerical work involved. Papers should later be reviewed by the examiner. There are explicit directions for obtaining scale values by means of tables, and for recording results.

The number of test elements has been determined by standard school paper which is usually about eight inches by ten and one-half inches with three-eighths of an inch ruling on both sides. Thus an examination for either an elementary or an advanced grade group has 120 test elements, or 240 test elements for the entire examination, each being carefully timed, and weighted for difficulty. Six different types of test material adaptable for general intelligence measurement are employed as follows:

1. Directions

2. Arithmetic and Reasoning 3. Payroll Problems

4. Disarranged Letters
5. Opposites

6. General Information

Directions selected for test purposes are similar to those employed with pupils in school, such as "Write the name of the first month of the year." And, "Make the sign for addition."

In arithmetic the usual problems are given such as "How many are three and nineteen?" and "What is the result when eight is added to seven and the sum divided by five?"

The payroll problems require the pupil to indicate with
