Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Directions for Giving and Scoring the Dearborn Group Tests of Intelligence: Series I, General Examinations 1, 2 and 3, for Grades I to III The room teachers may then assist by entering the names and birthdays, etc. (see page but should not give any other assistance during the progress of the tests. A good plan to follow, after a careful study of the directions, is to jot down on a copy of the tests the chief facts to be kept in mind. This record may be quickly referred to as needed during the progress of the tests. When the directions are read from the manual there is apt to be a loss of spontaneity in the giving of the tests, and con fusion and delay in looking from the manual to the test sheets. When the tests are given for the first time by an examiner, it is often well to try them out on a small group of children from some other grade a sixth grade) than those it is desired to test, and then to begin the testing with a third grade, since any lack of familiar ity with the directions will not cause as much difficulty as in the lower grades. In the first grade the tests should usually be given in three different periods, or an interval of at least ten minutes for change and recreationshould intervene between general examinations Nos. I and 2 and between Nos. 2 and 3. In the second and third grades the tests may be given in two periods with a short interval between them. As is indicated by the title page, it is best that pupils regard these exercises as in the nature of games and puzzles rather than as some new form of examination. They should be encouraged to play the games as well as they can. While the tests are being given the room teacher should be asked to copy from the register upon the accompanying record sheet the alphabetical list of her pupils with the birthday of each one 1912 - 11 and keep this list with the test sheets for the room. After the papers have been collected, she should examine them to see that all names are legibly written, and should enter the date of birthday again in the appropriate place on the title page of each set of tests. In giving the directions the examiner 'should hold a copy of the test sheet before the class, and in pointing to the place where the pupils are to write or draw (see, for example, the first test sheet), make sure that the pupils on his extreme right and left, as well as those in the rear rows, see where he is pointing.
