Pointing to the second maze, first to the entrance and then to the exit,
the examiner should again signify that motion is to occur at these two
points. With his pencil as before he should trace his way from the
starting point to the finish, making not more than one error, which he
should correct by returning over the same route to the point where it
was made without lifting the pencil from the paper.
If the candidate can understand the English language the examiner should
then read the directions above the examples. “Show by a line how you
would pass through the drawings below without touching any line.”

The examiner should then open the booklet and give it to the candidate
with the instruction to begin at number 1 and trace his way from the
starting arrow to the finish. No demonstration should be made on the
mazes which appear inside the booklet.
Exactly four minutes after starting the test the examiner should stop
the candidate and remove the pencil.
_Directions for Scoring the Test._
The total score in this test is the number of mazes correctly threaded
without error. Where a line has been crossed through accident or
unsteady holding of the pencil no penalty should be taken, but if a line
has been crossed and not recrossed to correct the defect, no credit
should be given for that particular maze. Full credit should be given
for the maze as being complete if the line stops at a point somewhat
before reaching the finish arrow, provided there is a straight path from
the end of the line drawn to some part of this sign of the exit.
Scores from 0 to 5 indicate Inferior Ability
Scores from 6 to 10 indicate Low Average Ability
Scores from 11 to 16 indicate Average Ability
Scores from 17 to 18 indicate High Average Ability
Scores from 19 to 20 indicate Superior Ability
