Measure Your Mind: The Mentimeter and How to Use It
Trabue, Marion Rex
Educational tests and measurements; Intelligence tests; Psychological tests
“You will have three minutes in which to write the fourth word in the
thirty lines on the next pages. Work as rapidly as you can without
making mistakes. Be sure to stop as soon as I call ‘Time up.’ Now turn
your papers and begin.”
Allow exactly three minutes (180 seconds) after saying “Begin,” and then
say “Stop! Time up! Turn your papers over.” All papers should be
collected at once to avoid corrections with resulting unfairness.
Write a fourth word which fits the third in
the same way the second word fits the first.
