Terman, Lewis M. (Lewis Madison)
Binet-Simon Test; Intelligence tests; Stanford-Binet Test
Credit if all colors are correctly named, without marked uncertainty.
3. _AEsthetic Comparison_
Show pairs of faces in order from top to bottom of card (V 3). Say,
"Which of these two pictures is the prettiest?"
Credit if all _three_ comparisons are made correctly.
4. _Definitions: Use or Better_
Say, "You have seen a chair. You know what a chair is. Tell me, what
is a chair?" If necessary urge as follows: "I am sure you know what a
chair is. You have seen a chair." "Now, tell me, what is a chair?" If
S. rambles say, "Yes, but tell me; what is a chair?" Same for horse,
fork, doll, pencil, table.
Credit if four words out of the six are defined in terms of use or
better. (See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, p. 168.)
5. _Patience_
Use two cards, each 2 x 3 inches. Divide one of them diagonally into
two triangles. Place the uncut card on the table with one of the
longer sides toward S. Then lay the divided card thus [Illustration],
and say, "I want you to take these two pieces (touching the two
triangles) and put them together so they will look exactly like this"
(pointing to rectangle). If S. hesitates, repeat instructions with a
little urging. If first attempt is a failure, replace pieces, saying,
"No; put them together so they will look like this" (pointing to
rectangle). Do not suggest further by face or word whether response
is correct. If a piece is turned over, turn it back and don't count
that trial. Give, if necessary, three trials of one minute each.
Credit if two of the three trials are successful.
6. _Three Commissions_
Take S. to center of room. Say, "Now, I want you to do something for
me. Here's a key. I want you to put it on that chair over there; then
I want you to shut (or open) that door, and then bring me the box
which you see over there" (pointing in turn to the objects
designated). "Do you understand? Be sure to get it right. First, put
the key on the chair, then shut (or open) the door, then bring me the
box (again pointing). Go ahead." Stress words first and then. Give no
further aid.
Credit if the three commissions are executed in proper order.
_Alt. Giving Age_
Say, "How old are you?"
Year VI
1. _Right and Left_
Say, "Show me your right hand" (stress right and hand, etc., rather
strongly and equally). Same for left ear, right eye. If there is one
error, repeat whole test, using left hand, right ear, left eye. Avoid
giving aid in any way.
Credit if three of three, or five of six responses are correct.
2. _Missing Parts_
