480 BINET-SIMON TESTS ON ZULUS. 



dunas and their sticks; what was the matter?" . These are fairly 

 satisfactory. 



Age 15. We used the same pictures as in the 6-year test of 

 Hke nature, but, as Binet has done, we required an interpretation. 

 This was satisfactory as a test. The time test, of reversnij; 

 mentally the hands of a clock shown them, and telling^ what time 

 it would be. proved imi3ossible. Almost every subject was noi 

 suflicitntly familiar with a clock to meet the test. We substituted 

 a test on the appearance of a footprint when a person has 

 walked backward. While undoubtedly difficult, this new test is 

 practicable, and contains the same mental process as Bluet's 

 reversal of clock-hands. The cipher tests to learn the cipher, 

 and, after removal of the paper, to write in it three short words, 

 was excessively difficult. It is an excellent test, however, and 

 might be retained if double value were given for passing it, 

 without double penalty for failure. In giving opposites, we have 

 simply translated the test into Zulu. 



Aditlf Tests- — The test of drawing what a piece of paper 

 folded and cut in a given way appears like when opened was 

 simplv translated. All four of the other adult tests were imprac- 

 ticable, since they dealt with matters entirely outside of the sub- 

 jects' ex])eriences. We have therefore omitted them. The two 

 tests in which differences are asked for are most strikinu' cases 

 in jx^int. Hardly any even knew what a republic was. when 

 asked the difference between a president and a king.
