THE WORD-BUILDING TEST

=Object.= This is a test of a certain type of inventiveness, namely
linguistic invention. Specifically, it tests the pupil's ability to
construct words using certain prescribed letters.

[Illustration: FIGURE XV--WORD-BUILDING TEST]

=Method.= The pupils are given the letters, _a_, _e_, _o_, _m_, _n_, _r_,
and told to make as many words as possible using only these letters.
Give the following instructions:

I wish to see how many words you can make in five minutes, using
only the letters which I give you. The words must be real English
words. You must use only the letters which I give you and must not
use the same letter more than once in the same word. You do not, of
course, have to use all the letters in the same word. A word may
contain one or more letters up to six.

=Material.= The pupils need only sheets of blank paper.

=Results.= The score is the number of words that do not violate the rules
of the test as given in the instructions. The norms are shown in Figure XV.

THE COMPLETION TEST

=Object.= This is, to some extent, a test of reasoning capacity. Of
course, it is only one particular aspect of reasoning. The pupil is
given a story that has certain words omitted. He must read the story,
see what it is trying to say, and determine what words, put into the
blanks, will make the correct sense. The meaning of the word written in
a particular blank must not only make the sentence read sensibly but
must fit into the story _as a whole_. Filling in the blanks in this
