Credit if one set of the three is correctly repeated in order, after a single reading.

7. Alt. Repeating Sentences

Say, "Listen; say this, 'Where is kitty?'" "Now, say this, ——," reading the first sentence in a natural voice, distinctly and with expression. May re-read the first sentence.

Year V

1. Comparison of Weights

Place the 3 and 15 gram weights before S., 2 or 3 inches apart. Say, "You see these blocks. They look just alike, but one of them is heavy and one is light. Try them and tell me which one is heavier." Repeat instructions if necessary, saying, "Tell me which one is the heaviest." If S. merely points without lifting blocks, or picks up one at random, say, "No, that is not the way. You must take the blocks in your hands and try them, like this." (Illustrate.) Give second trial with position of weights reversed; third trial with weights in same position as first.

Credit if two of three comparisons are correct.

2. Naming Colors

Show card (V 2) and say, pointing to colors in the order, red, yellow, blue, green, "What is the name of that color?"

Credit if all colors are correctly named, without marked uncertainty.

3. Æsthetic Comparison

Show pairs of faces in order from top to bottom of card (V 3). Say, "Which of these two pictures is the prettiest?"

Credit if all three comparisons are made correctly.

4. Definitions: Use or Better

Say, "You have seen a chair. You know what a chair is. Tell me, what is a chair?" If necessary urge as follows: "I am sure you know what a chair is. You have seen a chair." "Now, tell me, what is a chair?" If S. rambles say, "Yes, but tell me; what is a chair?" Same for horse, fork, doll, pencil, table.

Credit if four words out of the six are defined in terms of use or better. (See The Measurement of Intelligence, p. 168.)

5. Patience

Use two cards, each 2 x 3 inches. Divide one of them diagonally into two triangles. Place the uncut card on the table with one of the longer sides toward S. Then lay the divided card thus,

and say, "I want you to take these two pieces (touching the two triangles) and put them together so they will look exactly like this" (pointing to rectangle). If S. hesitates, repeat instructions with a little urging. If first attempt is a failure, replace pieces, saying, "No; put them together so they will look like this" (pointing to rectangle). Do not suggest further by face or word whether response is correct. If a piece is turned over, turn it back and don't count that trial. Give, if necessary, three trials of one minute each.

Credit if two of the three trials are successful.

6. Three Commissions

Take S. to center of room. Say, "Now, I want you to do something for me. Here's a key. I want you to put it on that chair over there; then I want you to shut (or open) that door, and then bring me the box which you see over there" (pointing in turn to the objects designated). "Do you understand? Be sure to get it right. First, put the key on the chair, then shut (or open) the door, then bring me the box (again pointing). Go ahead." Stress words first and then. Give no further aid.

Credit if the three commissions are executed in proper order.

Alt. Giving Age

Say, "How old are you?"

Year VI

1. Right and Left

Say, "Show me your right hand" (stress right and hand, etc., rather strongly and equally). Same for left ear, right eye. If there is one error, repeat whole test, using left hand, right ear, left eye. Avoid giving aid in any way.

Credit if three of three, or five of six responses are correct.

2. Missing Parts

Show card (VI 2) and say, "There is something wrong with this face. It is not all there. Part of it is left out. Look carefully and tell me what part of the face is not there." Same for (b) and (c). If S. gives irrelevant answer, say, "No; I am talking about the face. Look again and tell me what is left out of the face." If correct response does not follow, point to the place where eye should be and say, "See, the eye is gone." Then proceed to others, asking, "What is left out of this face?" For (d) say, "What is left out of this picture?" No help except on (a). Order is eyes, mouth, nose, arms.

Credit if correct response is made for three of four pictures.

3. Counting Thirteen Pennies

Place thirteen pennies in horizontal row. Say, "See these pennies. Count them and tell me how many there are. Count them with your finger, this way" (pointing to the first one on the subject's left)—"One. Now, go ahead." If S. gives number without pointing, say, "No, count them with your finger, this way," starting him as before. Have S. count aloud. Second trial given if only minor mistake is made.

Credit if one correct count, tallying with the pointing, is made in first or second trials.

4. Comprehension

Credit if three of four responses are correct.

6. Repeating Sentences

Say, "Now, listen. I am going to say something and after I am through I want you to say it over just as I do. Understand? Listen carefully and be sure to say exactly what I say." Repeat, "say exactly what I say," before reading each sentence. Do not re-read any sentence.

(a) "We are having a fine time. We found a little mouse in the trap."

(b) "Walter had a fine time on his vacation. He went fishing every day."
