“You will be allowed four minutes in which to complete the 16 series.
Begin with the first and complete as many as you possibly can. Ready!
Go!” At the end of four minutes after saying “Go” the examiner should
call “Stop! Time up! Give me your papers.” All papers should be
collected at once.
Unusual care will need to be taken in giving this test to avoid
variations in the directions used with the different groups examined. In
order to maintain absolutely comparable test conditions, no variations
from the language and routine given above should be allowed.

_Directions for Scoring the Test._
The score in this test is the number of series correctly completed
regardless of the number of blanks in the series. The maximum score
obtainable will therefore be 16 points. The stencil furnished with each
set of test leaflets will make it very simple to count the number of
series correctly completed. A convenient way of indicating that a series
is not correctly completed is to cross out the serial number of that
series. To indicate that the series was not attempted one might draw a
circle around the serial number of that series. The final score should
be entered on the title page of the leaflet in the lower right-hand
corner.
Scores from 0 to 1 indicate Inferior Ability
Scores from 2 to 4 indicate Low Average Ability
Scores from 5 to 8 indicate Average Ability
Scores from 9 to 11 indicate High Average Ability
Scores from 12 to 16 indicate Superior Ability
It should be borne in mind that the type of ability measured by the
above scores is not necessarily a true indication of the general
efficiency of the possessor.
