PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS Hn in connection with the printed directions, problems which give the subject a chance to try for himself and see whether or not he clearly understands what is required. These fore- exercises make for reliability by putting all the contestants on the same footing. In the introductory statement, it is sometimes advisable to use the word “Form” or “Worksample” instead of “Test,” as being less likely to make the subjects apprehensive. The directions may either be given orally or presented on printed sheets with the test, or both. They should not be on the same side of the sheet as the printed test, as that allows the rapid readers to solve some of the problems before the starting signal is given. They should preferably be on the back of the sheet, and at the starting signal the subjects turn the sheets over and begin to work. Instructions should be given to cross out mistakes instead of erasing them. Important statements in the directions should be in capi- tals or bold-face letters. Where speed is not essential, the starting signal may be merely, “Go ahead,” or “Start,” but if speed is desired, a suggestion to that effect is given by saying, “Ready?” (pause) “Go!” The stopping signal may be “Stop” or “Pen- cils up.” Some examiners have made use of a bell as a start- ing and stopping signal. The directions should be given a preliminary tryout with a few subjects to see if they are perfectly explicit and fool- proof, but even with this precaution it will be necessary in most cases to make modifications in the light of further experience. If the test performance is not obviously related to the job, it is most desirable that the directions should furnish some motivation to the subject by pointing out the resemblance of function measured. Instructions for administering trade tests are given by Chapman (28). Ix J
