A definition is satisfactory if it gives one correct meaning for the word, regardless of whether that meaning is the most common one, and however poorly it may be expressed. (See The Measurement of Intelligence, pp. 227-28, for illustrations of satisfactory and unsatisfactory responses.)
Time may be saved, with little loss of accuracy, by giving one list only, and in this case list 1 should be used. The standards required for passing are as follows:
| If both lists given | If one list given | |
| VIII | 20 | 10 |
| X | 30 | 15 |
| XII | 40 | 20 |
| XIV | 50 | 25 |
| XVI | 65 | 33 |
| XVIII | 75 | 38 |
