“Look at the second sample—9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4; the two numbers that should
come next are 3, 2.
“Look at the third sample—2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4; the two numbers that should
come next are 5, 5.
“Now look at the fourth sample—1, 7, 2, 7, 3, 7; the next two numbers
would, of course, be 4, 7.
“Look at each row of numbers below and on the two dotted lines write the
two numbers that should come next.—Ready—Go!”
After 3 minutes, say “Stop! Turn over the page to Test 7.”

_Instructions for Giving Alpha Test 7._
TEST 7.—ANALOGIES
“Attention! Look at the first sample at the top of the page: Sky—blue ∷
grass—table, _green_, warm, big.
“Notice the four words in heavy type. One of them—_green_—is underlined.
Grass is _green_ just as the sky is blue.
“Look at the second sample: Fish—swims ∷ man—paper, time, _walks_, girl.
“Here the word _walks_ is underlined. A man walks and a fish swims.
“Look at the third sample: Day—night ∷ white—red, _black_, clear, pure.
“Here the word _black_ is underlined because black is the opposite of
white just as night is the opposite of day.
“In each of the lines below the first two words are related to each
other in some way. What you are to do in each line is to see what the
relation is between the first two words and underline the word in heavy
type that is related in the same way to the third word. Begin with No. 1
and mark as many sets as you can before time is called.—Ready—Go!”
After 3 minutes, say “Stop! Turn over the page to Test 8.”
