20T3. Typing Test
Description: See accompanying sample. Besides this, a variety
of typing tests, including forms and tabulations, are used.
However, because of the fact that few beginning typists
have had specialized instruction and also, because of the
inevitable handicap of a new machine, it is advisable to
give tests which are free from technicalities.
Instructions: Explain to subject anything which she fails to
understand about the spacing, keys, etc., of the machine
which she is to use. Use a machine of the kind she has
been accustomed to using or one as near like it as possible.
Allow subject to adjust sheet and type salutation by way
of preparation. “Now I wish you to copy the rest of this
letter quickly and carefully.” Do not allow subject to
exceed ten minutes.
Corrections: Mistakes are valued as follows: There are 150 five-
space units intest 20T3. Each wrong word orword omitted
counts 5; each mistake in punctuation or capitalization,
2; each smudge, 2; from 5 to 10 for poor margins and un
sightly distribution.
Record: Number of test, time taken, number of units covered
—it wili be seen in the sample letter that every fifth space
marks a unit—and number of mistakes made. E. g.,
20T3; 160 secs., 150 — 20.
