If response is simply "a death," etc., check up by asking what the lawyer came for.
(c) An Indian who had come to town for the first time in his life saw a white man riding along the street. As the white man rode by, the Indian said: "The white man is lazy; he walks sitting down." What was the white man riding on that caused the Indian to say, "He walks sitting down?"
Credit if two of the three problems are satisfactorily answered. Spontaneous corrections allowed. (See The Measurement of Intelligence, pp. 316-18, for important scoring directions.)
5. Arithmetical Reasoning
Show S. the problems one at a time. Have S. read each problem aloud and, with the printed problem still before him, find the answer without the use of pencil or paper. In the case of illiterates, examiner reads each problem for S. two or three times.
Credit if two of the three problems are correctly solved, within one minute each, not including time spent in reading.
6. Reversing Hands of Clock
Say, "Suppose it is six-twenty-two o'clock, that is, twenty-two minutes after six; can you see in your mind where the large hand would be, and where the small hand would be?" "Now, suppose the two hands of the clock were to trade places, so that the large hand takes the place where the small hand was, and the small hand takes the place where the large hand was, what time would it then be?" Repeat the test with the hands at 8.08 (8 minutes after 8),3 and again with the hands at 2.46 (14 minutes before 3).
3 8.08 is substituted instead of 8.10, formerly used, because it is capable of more accurate solution and is less confusing.
