PROCEDURE. If the subject is a boy, the formula is: "_Are you a little boy or a little girl?_" If a girl, "_Are you a little girl or a little boy?_" This variation in the formula is necessary because of the tendency in young children to repeat mechanically the last word of anything that is said to them. If there is no response, say: "_Are you a little girl?_" (if a boy); or, "_Are you a little boy?_" (if a girl). If the answer to the last question is "no" (or a shake of the head), we then say: "_Well, what are you? Are you a little boy or a little girl?_" (or _vice versa_). SCORING. The response is satisfactory if it indicates that the child has really made the discrimination, but we must be cautious about accepting any other response than the direct answer, "A little girl," or, "A little boy." "Yes" and "no" in response to the second question must be carefully checked up. REMARKS. Binet and Goddard say that 3-year-olds cannot pass this test and that 4-year-olds almost never fail. We can accept the last part of this statement, but not the first part. Nearly all of our 3-year-old subjects succeed with it. The test probably has nothing to do with sex consciousness, as such. Success in it would seem to depend on the ability to discriminate between familiar class names which are in a certain degree related. III, 5. GIVING THE FAMILY NAME PROCEDURE. The child is asked, "_What is your name?_" If the answer, as often happens, includes only the first name (Walter, for example), say: "_Yes, but what is your other name? Walter what?_" If the child is silent, or if he only repeats the first name, say: "_Is your name Walter ... ?_" (giving a fictitious name, as Jones, Smith, etc.). This question nearly always brings the correct answer if it is known. SCORING. Simply + or -. No attention is paid to faults of pronunciation. REMARKS. There is unanimous agreement that this test belongs in the 3-year group. Although the child has not had as much opportunity to learn the family name as his first name, he is almost certain to have heard it more or less, and if his intelligence is normal the interest in self will ordinarily cause it to be remembered.
