In the analogies test, which may take the form of a mul- tiple choice test, each item consists of two sets of terms analogously related to each other and expressed in the form of a proportion. In the earlier forms of this test the fourth term of the proportion is omitted and is to be supplied, as in a completion test. Thus: Grass is to green as sky is to __ at 0".

The correct answer is indicated: asset—liability; creditor—invoice, banker, debtor, bonus Another form supplies five alternative terms, two of which are correct and must be checked. For convenience in scor- ing, the possible answers may be numbered, the instructions being to write the correct number in the space provided far the answer at the edge of the page, thus: Hammer is to trip-kammer as gimlet is to (1) lathe, (2) drill-press, (3) milling machine, (4) template. . . . ..
