Three pennies and three halfpennies are placed on the table before the child.
5. "What is this colour?"—"And this?"—"And this?"—"And this?"
The examiner shows the child successively the four colours—red, yellow, blue, and green.
Eight Years.
1. "You know a butterfly?"—"And you know a fly?"—"Are they like one another?"—"Well, in what way are they not alike?"
The same questions are asked about wood and glass, and paper and cardboard. Two comparisons at least must be given correctly.
2. "You can count, can't you?"—"Well, will you count for me backwards from twenty to nothing? Begin 20, 19...."
One error is allowed, but the task must be finished in twenty seconds.
3. "What is missing in this picture?" The child must not be allowed to see the figure in the diagram until he has answered the questions regarding the heads. Otherwise, when shown a head, he may say, being influenced by suggestion, "It has no body." See Fig. 5.
The same question is put for each of the four pictures.
