Series 2. 



Test K, Utter line. 



Materials. — Two pages of letters, (a) and (6), each containing five series, and the key to the letter test. 



Directions. — (a) The examiner points each time to the group of letters to be arranged. While giving the directions 

 for trial 1, he points to 1 and M and say?, "You see these letters. Look at them carefully. If they were made out of 

 cord or tape, the letter I would take a much shorter piece of tape than the M. You see what I mean. Arrange the 

 letters according to the total length of cord or tape needed. First write the letter I, because that would take the shortest 

 piece of tape, then the letter that would take the next shortest piece, and so on. Take, plenty of time, and use your best 

 judgment." 



Examiner hands subject a piece of paper and a pencil. While subject does part (6), examiner copies subject's 

 arrangement of (a) in space provided on blank, and so on. 



(6) "Now do the same with these letters."
