4. "What would you do if you were delayed in going to school?"--"What would you do before taking part in an important affair?"--"Why is a bad action done when one is angry more excusable than the same action done when one is not angry?"--"What would you do if you were asked your opinion of someone whom you did not know well?"--"Why should one judge a person by his acts rather than by his words?" Three sensible answers must be given. 5. "I am going to read you three words, and I want you to make a sentence and use in it the three words. The words are Paris, fortune, stream." The expression "make a sentence" must not be further explained, but the instructions may be repeated. The child is given a pencil and paper, and, if necessary, should be urged to write something. For a pass the sentence should be well co-ordinated. At this stage it may contain two distinct ideas, but not three; at the higher level it must contain only one idea (see XII. 2). One minute is the time allowed for writing. _Twelve Years._ 1. "Which is the longer of these two lines?"--"And of those?"--"And of those?"--"And of those?"--"And of those?"--"And of those?" This test is aimed at the suggestibility of the child. For the material see Figs. 8-13. The first three pairs of lines differ in length, the longer being at the right hand; the last three pairs are equal. It is sufficient if the child correctly judges two of the last three pairs to be equal. 2. "I am going to read you three words. I want you to make a sentence and use in it the three words. The words are Paris, fortune, stream." For directions see XI. 5. 3. "I am going to allow you three minutes, and I want you to say as many words as you can think of. Some children have said more than two hundred. Let us see how many you can do. Ready? Start." In order to pass the child must say over sixty words. 4. "What is Charity?"--"What is Justice?"--"What is Kindness?" Two correct responses are required. 5. "Put these words in their proper order and find the sentence which they make." Three cards are successively presented to the child, on each of which is very clearly written or printed one of the following sets of words arranged in three lines. (1) For--an--the--at--hour--early--we--country--started. (2) To--asked--exercise--my--I--teacher--correct--my. (3) A--defends--dog--good--his--master--bravely. One minute is allowed for each sentence, and two correct answers are required. _Fifteen Years._ 1. "I am going to say seven numbers to you, and I want you to repeat them after me. Now, 5, 2, 7, 9, 1, 6, 0."--"Again, 6, 4, 1, 3, 9, 7, 5."--"Again, 8, 0, 4, 2, 7, 3, 6." One success suffices. 2. "Do you know the meaning of the word 'rhyme'? Two words are said to rhyme when they have similar endings, such as hour and flower, or candy and dandy. Do you understand? Now, find all the words which rhyme with day." The child is required to find three rhymes in one minute.
