Addressed in a section on test modification are some general cautions to those modifying tests and specific methods for modifying tests for blind, deaf, and mentally retarded persons. The third part of the guide consists of test review outlines of 4 achievement, 18 aptitude, 5 intelligence, 9 interest, 12 work attitude and behavior, and 6 dexterity tests. Each outline includes information on the test's purpose, subtests, characteristics, usefulness in its present form, and possible modifications, as well as criteria for selecting the test, subjective comments, and a source from which the test may be ordered.
