Say, "Show me your right hand" (stress right and hand, etc., rather strongly and equally). Same for left ear, right eye. If there is one error, repeat whole test, using left hand, right ear, left eye. Avoid giving aid in any way.
Credit if three of three, or five of six responses are correct.
2. Missing Parts
Show card (VI 2) and say, "There is something wrong with this face. It is not all there. Part of it is left out. Look carefully and tell me what part of the face is not there." Same for (b) and (c). If S. gives irrelevant answer, say, "No; I am talking about the face. Look again and tell me what is left out of the face." If correct response does not follow, point to the place where eye should be and say, "See, the eye is gone." Then proceed to others, asking, "What is left out of this face?" For (d) say, "What is left out of this picture?" No help except on (a). Order is eyes, mouth, nose, arms.
Credit if correct response is made for three of four pictures.
3. Counting Thirteen Pennies
Place thirteen pennies in horizontal row. Say, "See these pennies. Count them and tell me how many there are. Count them with your finger, this way" (pointing to the first one on the subject's left)—"One. Now, go ahead." If S. gives number without pointing, say, "No, count them with your finger, this way," starting him as before. Have S. count aloud. Second trial given if only minor mistake is made.
Credit if one correct count, tallying with the pointing, is made in first or second trials.
4. Comprehension
Say (a) "What's the thing to do if it is raining when you start to school?"
