Test 5—Number Checking
“This is Test 5 here.” After everyone has found the page, “Now watch.” In this demonstration E. must try to get “Yes” or “No” responses from the group. If the wrong response is volunteered by group, E. points to digits again and gives right response, “Yes” or “No” as the case may be. E. points to first digit of first number in left column, then to first digit first number in right column, then to second digit first number in left column and second digit first number in right column; nods head, says “Yes” and makes an imaginary cross at end of number in right column. Motions to demonstrator, who makes an “X” there. E. does the same for second line of figures, but here he indicates clearly by shaking head and saying “no” that certain digits are not identical. E. repeats for three more sets and after each, looks at group, says “Yes?” in questioning tone and waits for them to say “Yes” or “No.” He repeats correct reply with satisfaction. Demonstrator checks each after group has responded, or at signal from E. if group does not respond. Demonstrator then works out remaining items, pointing from column to column and working deliberately. E. summarizes demonstrator’s work by pointing to the whole numbers in each set and saying “Yes” (indicating X) or “No”; if “No,” he shows again where the numbers are unlike. E. then points to page and says “All right. Go ahead. Hurry up!” At the end of 3 minutes E. says “Stop! Turn over the page to Test 6.”

Test 6—Pictorial Completion
“This is Test 6 here. Look. A lot of pictures.” After everyone has found the page, “Now watch.” E. points to hand and says to demonstrator: “Fix it.” Demonstrator does nothing, but looks puzzled. E. points to the picture of the hand, then to the place where finger is missing and says to demonstrator: “Fix it. Fix it.” Demonstrator then draws in finger. E. says, “That’s right.” E. then points to fish and place for eye and says, “Fix it.” After demonstrator has drawn missing eye, E. points to each of the four remaining drawings and says, “Fix them all.” Demonstrator works samples out slowly and with apparent effort. When the samples are finished E. says, “All right. Go ahead. Hurry up!” During the course of this test the orderlies walk around the room and locate individuals who are doing nothing, point to their pages, and say “Fix it. Fix them,” trying to set everyone working. At end of 3 minutes E. says, “Stop! But don’t turn over the page.”
Test 6
Test 7—Geometrical Construction
“This is Test 7 here. Look.” After everyone has found the page, “Now watch.” Examiner points to the first figure on blackboard. He then takes the two pieces of cardboard, fits them on to the similar drawings on blackboard to show that they correspond and puts them together in the square on blackboard to show that they fill it. Then, after running his finger over the line of intersection of the parts, E. removes the pieces and signals demonstrator, who draws solution in the square on blackboard. The same procedure is repeated for the second and third sample. Demonstrator works out fourth sample, after much study, pointing from the square to the forms.
