_Obedience._ Two simple commands of the type mentioned should be sufficient to bring credit at this point. _Imitation._ Only after repeated evidences of imitation of other children should credit be given here. _Discernment._ Repeated evidences should be required before credit is allowed for this test. _Self-direction._ Any one of the evidences described is sufficient. THREE YEARS _Parts of the Body._ Three out of four parts mentioned should be pointed out before allowing credit. _Familiar Objects._ Three out of five of the objects mentioned must be named in order to obtain credit here. _Pictures._ The child should name at least three objects in one of the three pictures in order to obtain credit. _Sex and Name._ Accuracy is necessary here. _Repeating Syllables._ One of the three sentences should be repeated absolutely without error. FOUR YEARS _Forms._ Out of ten trials, at least seven should be correct in order to obtain credit. _Counting._ No error should be allowed. _Copying._ Out of three attempts, at least one should be fairly regular and distinctly recognizable as a square. _Comprehension._ Success must be attained in two of the three questions in order to receive credit. _Repeating Numbers._ One out of three trials should be absolutely correct. _Repeating Syllables._ One of the three trials should be without error or two of the three trials with not more than one slight error in each. The matter of nourishment and physical well-being may retard a child to such an extent that his intellectual development is delayed. Great care should, therefore, be taken not to interpret a low score on this test too seriously. It should also be noted that familiarity with the test is quite certain to cause parents to put forth special effort to instruct the child along the lines required by the test. The test itself is thereby invalidated. Only when no special instruction has been given at any point covered by the test can one be satisfied that he is obtaining a fair measure of the child’s ability. The test booklet supplied for this test is not for the use of the candidate being examined but for the examiner to use as a guide and record of the examination. One such booklet should be used for each individual examined, in order to be certain that no test is omitted or wrongly scored and in order to have a record for comparison with future tests of the same individual or of other individuals.
