Test 5, disarranged sentences. 



"Attention! Read the directions at the top of the page and do what they tell you to do. — Ready — GO!" 

 After 2 minutes and 10 seconds, say "STOP! Turn over the page to test 6." 



Test 6, number series completion.

 to do.— Ready— GO!" 



After 3 minutes and 10 seconds, say "STOP! Turn over the page to test 7." 



Test 7, analogies. 



"Attention! Look at the first sample at the top of the page: Sky — blue : : grass — table, green, warm, big. 



"Notice the four words in heavy type. One of them — green — is underlined. Grass is green just as the sky 

 is blue. 



"Look at the second sample: Fish — swims : : man — paper, time, walks, girl. 



"Here the word walks is underlined. A man walks and a fish swims. 



"Look at the third sample: Day — night : : white — red, black, clear, pure. 



"Here the word black is underlined because black is the opposite of white just as night is the opposite of day. 



"In each of the lines below, the first two words are related to each other in some way. What you are to do in 

 each line is to see what the relation is between the first two words and underline the word in heavy type that is 

 related in the same way to the third word. Begin with No. 1 and mark as many sets as you can before time is called. — 

 Ready— GO!" 



After 3 minutes, say "STOP! Turn over the page to test 8." 



Test 8, information. 



"Attention! Read the directions at the top of the page and do what they tell you to do. — Ready — GO!" 



After 4 minutes, say "STOP! Close your booklets and turn them over to test 1." 



Have all examination booklets and pencils collected immediately and before the men are allowed to leave their 

 seats. Before dismissing the group the number of booklets collected should be carefully checked with the number 

 of men present and the number of booklets issued . 



(c) DIRECTION'S FOR SCORING. 



The scoring is done by means of stencils, one for each of the eight tests. A test is scored by placing the stencil 

 upon the appropriate page of the record booklet and comparing the responses given with the marks on the stencil. 



The stencils may be made of cardboard suitably marked to indicate the correct answer. For tests 4, 5, 7, and 8 

 stencils made of thin, transparent strips of celluloid are preferable. If celluloid can not be obtained, stencils for 

 these tests may be made of cardboard. In this case the scoring of tests 7 and 8 will be facilitated by perforating the 

 cardboard stencils so as to show where the correct responses are located. 



The rules for scoring are as follows: 



[Here followed the rules as given on pp. 161-162 of the Examiner's Guide, second revision.] 



Section 6. — Examinations a and b. 



On pages 202 to 211, examination a, form A, is reproduced complete. The tests were bound 

 in booklet form, 8£ by 11 inches. In actual use, tests 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 appeared on successive 

 right-hand pages; the backs of these pages were occupied by tests 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6, printed 

 upside down, so that whea, at the erjd of test 5, the booklets were turned around, tests 6, 7, S, 

 9, and 10 in turn appeared on the right-hand page. Forms B, C, D, and E of each test appear 

 together, reduced to one-half size, on pages 212 to 218. Certain tests, however, are omitted ; the 

 blanks for tests 1 and 2 are the same for all forms and are not repeated. Test 4 is practically iden- 

 tical with test 2, examination alpha (see pages 221 and 228), where forms 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 

 correspond to forms A, B, C, D, and E of examination a. 



In these reproductions, the blanks have been marked, where this is feasible, to indicate the 

 correct response to each item. For responses to test 1, see instructions, Examiner's Guide, first 

 revision, pages 124 to 126. 



Examination b was the name used when examination a, tests 3 to 9, was utilized with 

 increased time limits to give those who had made a low score a more favorable chance to show 

 what they could do. (See Examiner's Guide, first revision, pages 128 to 129.)
