Book excerpt: "This revision of Volume I is undertaken in order to clarify instructions for specific tests of Form I of the Point Scale of Performance Tests and to incorporate new material on the usefulness of the scale for testing pupils in the Indian schools of the United States, on results obtained in testing the deaf, and on the use of the tests in cases of "congenital word blindness." Also, as a result both of first-hand experience with Form I and suggestions from other psychologists, it seemed advisable to construct norms omitting the Casuist Form Board and the Manikin-Feature-Profile Test. These norms are presented in this revision. The data used for analyzing the responses of deaf subjects were supplied by Helen Bishop, psychologist in the St. Paul Public School system, and Dora Capwell of the Bureau of Psychological Service of the State of Minnesota. For the opportunity to work with Indian pupils, acknowledgment is made with pleasure to the members of the staff of the Indian Service in the State Office and at the Red Lake Reservation in Minnesota, and at the Haskell Indian School, Lawrence, Kansas. Form I of the scale has been so consistently superior to Form II that a thoroughgoing revision of Form II is now being undertaken through a grant from the Amherst H. Wilder Charity, of St. Paul; and all discussion and data about Form II which appeared in the first edition of this clinical manual are therefore omitted in this second edition"--Foreword.
