_In List A_ Scores from 0 to 20 indicate Inferior Ability Scores from 21 to 35 indicate Low Average Ability Scores from 36 to 45 indicate Average Ability Scores from 46 to 50 indicate High Average or Superior Ability _In List B_ Scores from 0 to 10 indicate Inferior Ability Scores from 11 to 24 indicate Low Average Ability Scores from 25 to 40 indicate Average Ability Scores from 41 to 46 indicate High Average Ability Scores from 47 to 50 indicate Superior Ability It is not to be expected that an individual’s score will be the same exactly in List A as in List B or that his classification based on this score will be just the same. The two lists are not perfectly adjusted in this matter and if they were it would still be possible for a person of “Average Ability” in List A to obtain “Low Average” scores in List B. In public school work teachers will probably find List A more instructive than List B, although List B will be almost as useful in classifying pupils, especially when used in connection with the following table of average results. The average Second Grade pupil should spell 6 words in List B The average Third Grade pupil should spell 14 words in List B The average Fourth Grade pupil should spell 25 words in List B The average Fifth Grade pupil should spell 33 words in List B The average Sixth Grade pupil should spell 40 words in List B The average Seventh Grade pupil should spell 44 words in List B The average Eighth Grade pupil should spell 47 words in List B MENTIMETER NO. 18 RANGE OF INFORMATION _Character of the Test._ This test is a very entertaining and useful task for any group to work upon. It is based upon the assumption that general intelligence will result in the extension of one’s general knowledge and information about affairs in many fields. The test requires, for its perfect solution, knowledge of all sorts of facts in a great variety of fields. The General Information test used in the Army Alpha series was very frequently subject to criticism from officers and men because not a sufficient number of questions was asked about matters which pertained to their own field of work. The physicians, for example, expressed regret that there were so few questions referring to medicine or anatomy, while the engineers were just as much inclined to believe that the test would have been improved had it included a larger number of questions applying directly to their field. Of course the purpose of the test is to avoid specializing in any particular field and to cover just as wide a range as possible of general information.
