The examiner should distribute one test booklet to each candidate, announcing at the beginning of the distribution that the booklets should not be opened or turned over until an order to that effect is given. Since the blanks on the front cover of the booklet will be self-explanatory to any person capable of taking the test, the examiner may direct that each candidate fill out the blanks on the title page of his booklet as soon as he receives it. When the information blanks have been filled satisfactorily the examiner should ask the candidates to read the directions silently while he reads them aloud. This reading should be at a very deliberate rate and in good, clear tones: “The following pages contain twelve sentences, each sentence being printed with four different endings. Only one of these endings can be true if the first part of the sentence is true. You are to decide which ending or conclusion is truest or agrees best with the first part, and to make a mark in the square standing in front of that best ending. Notice the example: “If roses cost more than violets, then violets ☐ cost more than roses ☐ cost as much as roses ☐ do not cost as much as roses ☐ do not cost less than roses “The only one of the four endings which can be true, if the first part of the sentence is true, is the third, ‘violets do not cost as much as roses,’ so the square in front of this third conclusion should be check-marked. “You will have five minutes in which to read and mark the twelve sentences. Think carefully and get all of your marks correctly placed. Ready! Go!” At the end of five minutes exactly, call “Stop! Time up! Give me your papers.” All papers should be collected at once. =MARK (✓) THE SQUARE IN FRONT OF THE TRUEST ENDING TO EACH SENTENCE= 1. If John is older than James, then John is ☐ younger than James ☐ older than James ☐ not as old as James ☐ not older than James 2. If Mary is younger than Will, then Will is ☐ younger than Mary ☐ not older than Mary ☐ not as old as Mary ☐ older than Mary 3. If Dot is taller than Pet, then Pet is ☐ as tall as Dot ☐ shorter than Dot ☐ not shorter than Dot ☐ taller than Dot 4. If May is heavier than Jean, then Jean is ☐ not lighter than May ☐ as heavy as May ☐ not heavier than May ☐ heavier than May 5. If Walter runs faster than William, and William runs faster than David, then David runs ☐ faster than Walter ☐ as fast as William ☐ as fast as Walter ☐ slower than William 6. If Edna is smarter than Bertha, and Bertha is not as smart as Mabel, then Mabel is ☐ not as smart as Edna ☐ not as smart as Bertha ☐ smarter than Edna ☐ smarter than Bertha
