shows test sheet). “Start at the top and go across every
line, marking every group that contains both ‘ 1 ’ and * 7
Do this quickly and carefully. All right? Start.” Allow
120 seconds.
Record: There are 70 numbers which can be marked. Each
number skipped or marked wrongly is an error. Record
number of test, time allowed, numbers checked, errors
made. E. g., 8; 120 secs., 60 — 3.
Rating: Apply formula I. The reference point is 70 numbers
checked in 120 seconds; RU, or reference units, 70; N,
number of units the subject covers; E, errors, which should
N - 2E
count double. Then —=7=— = r, applied to above sample
RU
60 — 6
gives: - - — = -77
Suggestions: A correction key which can be placed alongside
the test sheet will materially help the examiner in correct
ing the test.
9. Tachistoscope
Description: The small Harvard type piece was used to test
inspectors. No correlations whatsoever were found. This
fact may be attributed in part to the inaccuracy and un
reliability of this type of apparatus. A portable tachisto
scope of an entirely different type has been devised and
is being tried out. It is as yet too early to publish the
results.
