1. One half point for each correctly completed half of maze. A half maze
is correct if drawn line does not cross any line of maze (except through
awkwardness) nor an imaginary straight line across the opening of a
wrong passage.
2. Allow much leeway in the cutting of corners.
3. Spur running into any blind passage counts wrong for that half-item,
even though erased.
4. When two lines are drawn, one straight across the page, the other
correct, full credit is given.
TEST 2.
Score is number right.
TEST 3.
1. Score is number right.
2. Any incomplete item receives no credit.
3. Count any item correct if intended plan is carried out. Disregard
additional unnecessary marks, such as circles between the crosses of
items 2 and 4 in first part of line, etc.
TEST 4.
1. Score is one third of number of correct symbols.
2. Use leniency in judging form of symbol.
3. Credit symbol for 2 even though reversed.
TEST 5.
1. Score is right minus wrong (number of items checked that should be
checked minus number of items checked that should not be checked).
2. If other clear indication is used instead of crosses, give credit.
3. If numbers which should not be checked are marked by some other sign
than is used to check similar pairs, count as though not marked.
4. If all items are checked, the score for the test is zero.
TEST 6.
1. Score is number right.
2. Allow much awkwardness in drawing. Writing in name of missing part or
any way of indicating it receives credit, if idea is clear.
3. Additional parts do not make item wrong, if proper missing part is
also inserted.
4. Rules for individual items:
_Item 4._—Any spoon at any angle _in right hand_ receives credit. Left
hand, or unattached spoon, no credit.
_Item 5._—Chimney must be in right place. No credit for smoke.
_Item 6._—Another ear on same side as first receives no credit.
_Item 8._—Plain square, cross, etc., in proper location for stamp,
receives credit.
_Item 10._—Missing part is the rivet. Line of “ear” may be omitted.

of woman, or in motion, no credit.

_Item 18._—Any representation intended for horn, pointing in any
direction, receives credit.
_Item 19._—Hand and powder puff must be put on proper side.
_Item 20._—Diamond is the missing part. Failure to complete hilt on
sword is not an error.

1. Score is number right.
2. Allow considerable awkwardness in drawing.
3. Extra subdivisions, if not erased, make item wrong.
