Here again, the only way of giving the correct solution of each problem
is by means of the transparent stencil furnished with each package of
test blanks. That dot which can be “cut out” and still leave a perfectly
symmetrical figure is the one which should be circled in each pattern.
This is frequently at the very centre of the pattern, although the
centre is not the correct one if by removing it the pattern is left
unsymmetrical.
_MENTIMETER NO. 5_: Dividing Geometric Figures.
Only a transparent stencil can give a clear impression of the correct
solution of each figure. In dividing a circle into two equal parts it
makes no difference in what direction the diameter is run—in other
words, any correct solution should be accepted and given full credit.
_MENTIMETER NO. 6_: Completion of Form Series.
Only the stencil supplied with the test blanks can represent adequately
the correct completion of each series. No credit is given in a series
unless each blank is correctly filled.

_MENTIMETER NO. 8_: Digit-Symbol Substitution.
The reader may, by reference to the Key printed at the top of the test
sheet, determine for himself the correctness of any symbol written by a
candidate. The stencil furnished with the Test Blanks makes it possible
for one to score this test very accurately with a very small expenditure
of time and effort. In scoring this test with the stencil the
correctness of the entire list of 100 characters can be checked in less
than a minute by an ordinary clerk.
_MENTIMETER NO. 9_: Completion of Number Relation Series.
No credit is to be given on any line unless all of the missing numbers
are correctly supplied. The score is the number of _lines_ completed
correctly in every detail.
