SCORING. _Two out of the three_ questions must be answered satisfactorily. Study of the following classified responses should make scoring fairly easy in most cases:-- (a) _When some one asks your opinion_ _Satisfactory._ "I would say I don't know him very well" (42 per cent of the correct answers). "Tell him what I know and no more" (34 per cent of correct answers). "I would say that I'd rather not express any opinion about him" (20 per cent of the correct answers). "Tell him to ask some one else." "I would not express any opinion." _Unsatisfactory._ Unsatisfactory responses are due either to failure to grasp the import of the question, or to inability to suggest the appropriate action demanded by the situation. The latter form of failure is the more common; e.g.: "I'd say they are nice." "Say you like them." "Say what I think." "Say it's none of their business." "Tell them I mind my own business." "Say I would get acquainted with them." "Say that I don't talk about people." "Say I didn't know how he looked." "Tell them you ought not to say such things; you might get into trouble." "I wouldn't say anything." "I would try to answer." "Say I did not know his name," etc. The following are samples of failure due to mistaking the import of the question: "I'd say, 'How do you do?'" "Say,'I'm glad to meet you.'" (b) _Before undertaking something important_ _Satisfactory responses_ fall into the following classes:-- (1) Brief statement of preliminary consideration; as: "Think about it." "Look it over." "Plan it all out." "Make your plans." "Stop and think," etc. (2) Special emphasis on preliminary preparation and correct procedure; as: "Find out the best way to do it." "Find out what it is." "Get everything ready." "Do every little thing that would help you." "Get all the details you can." "Take your time and figure it out," etc. (3) Asking help; as: "Ask some one to help you who knows all about it." "Pray, if you are a Christian." "Ask advice," etc. (4) Preliminary testing of ability, self-analysis, etc.; as: "Try something easier first." "Practice and make sure I could do it." "Learn how to do it," etc. (5) Consider the wisdom or propriety of doing it: "Think whether it would be best to do it." "See whether it would be possible." About 65 per cent of the correct responses belong either to group (1) or (2), about 20 per cent to group (3), and most of the remainder to group (4).
