IF you have a child examined by

That is. they should he tests
which have been tiled out on

what the average or normal re-
sponse to the test really is.
There are hundreds of tests in
use but not all are standardized.
To standardize test takes
long time. for so many. many in
dividuals must be examined. The
truth OF the matter Is that
it Is easier for psychologist to
invent a new test than to stand.

we have 50 many tests nowadays
that cannot claim strict scientific
worth
1t is best, also. that so.called
Form Board" tests be employed
in addition to the ordinary tests
which involve the use of language.
Particularly il this true when
doubt exists as to the results of
the ordinary tests.
A form board test is usually of
the type where 1t is necessary to
fit irreguiarly shaped pieces of
wood into frame
On these no language is en-
ployed except in giving direction
-and even directions may be
avoided. the subject being in
structed through pantomime, what
is required of the individual.

pertance of the Interpretation OF

Tests, by themselves, should
never be taken as a final means
OF diagnosis.
A history of the subject should
invariably be taken.
Such information as when he
walked, talked. cut the first tooth,
etc, infantile diseases, convulsions.
ETC., throws a flood of light on a
child's inherent powers Of de-
velopment.
Hereditary factors may like
wise be important. The condi-
tions of the mother before and at
birth should receive due considera.

Then the environment of child
or the adult, as the case may be,
may have q lot to do with his
mental eapability and output.
For instance. an otherwise normal
child, but undernourished. or
suffering from adenoids, may do
poorly on a mental test.
Mental tests are a wonderful
aid to our understanding OF the
human mind but they must be
