Give pen, ink, and paper, and say, "I want you to write something for me as nicely as you can. Write these words: 'See the little boy.' Be sure to write it all: 'See the little boy.'" Do not dictate the words separately, nor give further repetition. Credit if sentence is written without omission of a word and legibly enough to be easily recognized. Misspelling disregarded if word is easily recognizable. (See scoring card.) Year IX 1. _Giving the Date_ Ask in order, (_a_) "What day of the week is to-day?" (_b_) "What month is it?" (_c_) "What day of the month is it?" (_d_) "What year is it?" If S. gives day of month for day of week, or _vice versa_, repeat question with suitable emphasis. No other help. Credit if there is no error greater than three days in (_c_) and no error in (_a_), (_b_), and (_d_). Spontaneous correction allowed. 2. _Arranging Five Weights_ Place 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 gram weights before S. and say, "See these blocks. They all look alike, don't they? But they are not alike. Some of them are heavy, some are not quite so heavy, and some are still lighter. No two weigh the same. Now, I want you to find the heaviest one and place it here. Then find the one that is just a little lighter and put it here. Then put the next lighter one here, and the next lighter one here, and the lightest of all at this end (pointing). Ready; go ahead." Give second and, if necessary, third trial, repeating instructions only if S. has used an absurd procedure. Do not show S. the correct method. Credit for correct arrangement in two of three trials. 3. _Making Change_ Ask, "If I were to buy 4 cents' worth of candy and should give the storekeeper 10 cents, how much money would I get back?" Similarly for 12-15 cents; and 4-25 cents. S. is not allowed coins or pencil and paper. If S. forgets problem, repeat once, but not more. Spontaneous corrections allowed. Credit if two answers of three are correct. 4. _Four Digits Backwards_ Say, "Listen carefully. I am going to read some numbers, and I want you to say them backwards. For example, if I should say 5--1--4, you would say 4--1--5. Do you understand?" Then, "Ready now; listen carefully, and be sure to say the numbers backwards." If S. gives digits forwards, repeat instructions. If necessary, give (_b_) and (_c_), repeating each time, "Ready now; listen carefully, and be sure to say the numbers backwards." 6, 5, 2, 8; 4, 9, 3, 7; 8, 6, 2, 9. Credit if one set is repeated backwards without error. 5. _Three Words in One Sentence_
