On May 8, 1926, at the age of 11 years 6 months, F was again tested with the Stanford-Binet [by L. S. H.]. He passed at this time all the Superior Adult tests and was thus unmeasured. He was at this time in his first year of senior high school.
January 7, 1933, at the age of 18-2, while a college freshman, his score on Army Alpha, Form 8, was 198 points.
Music tests. F showed no active musical interests but became very fond of listening to good music, being particularly fond of string quartets. As was the case in every field to which his interests turned, he quickly acquired a fund of information about it which he took pleasure in exhibiting.
F was given the Seashore Music Tests four times [by L. S. H.] over a period of 11 years. Perhaps the record of these successive examinations will have some intrinsic interest, and such a tabulation is here provided.
