FOOTNOTES:
[A] The directions for this test, given in 1908, are to arrange the two triangles so that the hypotenuses are as far distant as possible from one another. In the 1911 article the directions are as above. It seems to the writer that both directions are ambiguous. In certain experiments in which she followed the 1908 directions she placed the triangles thus
, so that the children had to lift one across the other to effect a solution. A very small percentage of five-year-old children succeeded. If the triangles are placed thus
the task would probably be easier.

For an excellent brief review of the experimental work which has been done with the tests, see the same volume, pp. 101-110. The 1911 scale, with detailed instructions for the application of each test, appeared in the Bulletin de la Société Libre pour l'Étude Psychologique de l'Enfant, Nos. 70 and 71, April, 1911.
