PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS Repeat the urging to continue working, if necessary. If the subject dodges or jumps the obstruction, replace it in front of the pencil. Record should be made of whether or not urging was required before the subject made an effort to continue writing. Also the degree of pressure should be recorded, and observations on such points as speed and the energy used in dodging or in deliberate and persistent evasion. Second trial. Repeat the test. The object of the Resistance to Opposition test is to determine the strenuousness with which the examinee will maintain an activ- ity he has initiated. The man with fighting qualities scores high in this test; the unaggressive person evades the issue or gives up. The scores which may range from o to 10 are assigned by com- paring the reaction of the subject with the following descriptive scale: Strong pressure against obstacle.
