The same tests were given as in the first study. About half of the
testing was done by one of the former examiners, but she was obliged to
turn the work over to another before it had been completed. The second
examiner was highly recommended, and had had training and practical
experience in the giving of tests. She was instructed in the methods
which had been employed previously, so that conditions were as far as
possible kept constant.
The results of the tests are collected in Table XIV. In the first column
is given the length of the time interval for each case. It may be seen
that the final group was composed of forty-two children, forming
twenty-one pairs. There were fifteen pairs which received a second
rating in weight; thirteen in height; thirteen in grip; fifteen in
tapping, eleven in fatigue as shown by tapping, twenty-one in I.Q., and
eighteen in the Healy Test. These numbers while they are smaller than we
could wish, would seem to be great enough to indicate
