406 APPENDIX Each of these tests is to be given in turn according to the directions accompanying it. While the applicant is per forming the first test, the examiner transfers from the employment record card to his own record, the name, education, etc., of the person being examined. 2. Pro-rating: The applicant’s fitness for inspection is deter mined by pro-rating the results of the tests. The meaning of pro-rating and the manner in which the pro-rating for mula is determined are described in the following section. The formula in this case is: .3 X r2 -f- .3 X r6 + .4 X r8 = R, in which r stands for the rating in the test whose number it accompanies, and R the final pro-rated score. E. g., .3 X -75 + -3 X .80 + .4 X .60 = .71, the pro-rated result. 3. Record: The results of the examination are recorded in two ways: (1) the numerical result of applying the pro-rating for mula. (2) whether or not the person is recommended, not recom mended, or recommended for a trial. The examiner’s card naturally has all this information in detail. 4. Standards: For the kind of inspection described in Chap ters II and III, the passing standard was .65. Anybody above .55 was recommended for a trial under close super vision. 5- Suggestions: It is of little use to give these tests to persons who fail to understand English because they would have great difficulty in the tests as well as in understanding the instructions given to inspectors in the shop. Applicants below the sixth grade in education cannot be accurately judged by these tests. When more than one applicant is being tested at the same time each one should be asked to write his initials on the back of each sheet before be ginning. 6. Shock absorber: Test 34 is used as a shock absorber. The test is extremely simple and easily understood.
