TERMAN + +ALL RIGHTS RESERVED + + + + +_The Riverside Press_ + +CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS + +PRINTED IN THE U. S. A. + + + + +PREFACE + + +Since the appearance of the Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon +Intelligence Scale I have been frequently urged to prepare a +condensed guide which would make the application of the tests easier +and more convenient. I have hesitated somewhat to act upon this +suggestion because I have not wished to encourage the use of the +scale without the supplementary directions and explanations which are +set forth in the original text of the Stanford Revision.[1] The +demand has become so insistent, however, that I have decided to heed +it. I have been led to this decision largely by the fact that my +revision is now so generally used by examiners who are sufficiently +experienced to be trusted to follow the correct procedure without the +necessity of constantly consulting the complete text. Those who are +thoroughly familiar with the contents of the latter will find the +_Condensed Guide_ a convenient help. It is impossible, however, to +warn the inexperienced examiner too emphatically against the dangers +inherent in the routine application of mental tests without some +knowledge of their derivation, meaning, and purpose. The necessary +psychological background for the use of the Binet scale I have tried +to supply in _The Measurement of Intelligence_, and in _The +Intelligence of School Children_ I have explained the practical uses +of mental tests in the grading and classification of school children. +It is only as a supplement to these books that the procedure of the +Stanford Revision is here presented in abbreviated form. + +[Footnote 1: Lewis M. Terman: _The Measurement of Intelligence_. +(Riverside Textbooks in Education.) Houghton Mifflin Company.] + +For the further aid of the experienced examiner a condensed record +blank has also been prepared. Although this is considerably cheaper +than the original Record Booklet and in certain respects perhaps +somewhat more convenient, it is not recommended as a satisfactory +substitute except when used by thoroughly trained examiners. +Beginners, at least, should continue to use the complete Record +Booklet both because of the accuracy of procedure which it fosters +and because of the advantages of having a complete verbatim record of +the responses. Besides being indispensable for the analytical study +of the child's mental processes, the complete record makes possible +the correction of errors in scoring and permits interesting +qualitative comparisons between earlier and later performances by the +same subject. It is believed that only for the veteran examiner, and +perhaps even then only in special cases, are these advantages +outweighed by the lower cost of the abbreviated blank. + +The labor of preparing this _Guide_ was made considerably lighter +than it would otherwise have been by the fact that a similar guide +had been prepared in the Office of the Surgeon-General for use in the +army. I am greatly indebted to Dr. J. W. Bridges and to Major H. C. +Bingham for assistance in the preparation of the latter. Their +careful work has saved me many hours and has doubtless made the +_Condensed Guide_ more accurate and serviceable than it could +otherwise have been. + +LEWIS M. TERMAN + +_Stanford University, March 31, 1920_ + + + + +GENERAL DIRECTIONS + + +General directions for the use of the Stanford Revision have been +fully set forth in chapter VIII of _The Measurement of Intelligence_. +As this guide is only a handbook of procedure for the tests +themselves, I shall not here undertake either to summarize that +chapter or to add to it. I trust it may safely be assumed that no +responsible person will attempt to apply the tests who is not +familiar with the book which explains them and presents the general +considerations which should govern their use. + +However, extended observation of the difficulties which students and +teachers encounter in learning to use the Stanford Revision has +taught me that there are certain injunctions which cannot easily be +too often repeated. Among these the following "ten commandments" have +been selected for reëmphasis here: + +1. The subject's attention and coöperation must be secured. Thanks to +the novelty and inherent interest of the tests, this is usually not +difficult to do. But there are degrees of _rapport_, and the examiner +should not be satisfied with his efforts until the subject becomes +wholly absorbed in the tasks set him by the tests. The importance of +tactful encouragement and a kindly, genial manner cannot be too +strongly emphasized, nor, on the other hand, the risk incurred in +allowing a parent to witness the test. Hardly anything is more likely +to spoil an examination than the presence of a critical or +over-sympathetic parent. Sometimes the teacher's presence is hardly +less objectionable. + +2. The correct formulas should be thoroughly learned and strictly +adhered to. Unless this is done the scale used is not the Stanford +Revision, whatever else it may be. For the first fifty or hundred +examinations the tests should be given directly from this guide. +Little by little, as the procedure becomes memorized, the examiner +should attempt to free himself of the necessity of reading the +formulas, but for a long time it is necessary to check up one's +procedure by frequent reference to the Guide if practice in error is +to be avoided. + +3. The examiner should early learn to withstand the temptation of +wholesale coaxing and cross-questioning. To do so often robs the +response of significance and is likely to interfere with the +establishment of _rapport_. A simple "What do you mean?" or, "Explain +what you mean," is sufficient to clarify most answers which are not +clear. At the same time the examiner should be on guard against +mistaking exceptional timidity for inability to respond. Persuasive +encouragement is frequently necessary, but this should not be allowed +to degenerate into a chronic habit of coaxing. + +4. The record should always be made as the test proceeds. Memory +should never be trusted. As a rule enough of each response should be +recorded to enable one to score it at any time later. The great +advantage of the Record Booklet is that it permits this. Only the +most expert examiner should limit his record to pluses and minuses. + +5. The examination should be thorough. It should include at least one +year in which there is no failure and at least one year in which +there is no success. When lack of time necessitates an abbreviation +of the examination, this should be done by using only the starred +tests rather than by shortening the range of the examination. + +6. Success in alternative tests may not be substituted for failure in +one of the regular tests. Ordinarily the alternatives should be +omitted. They have been included in the scale chiefly as a +convenience in case materials are lacking for any of the regular +tests, or in case any of the latter should be deemed for some special +reason unsuitable. The ball and field test, for example, is often +rendered unsuitable by coaching, and one of the alternates should +always be substituted for the vocabulary test in the case of subjects +whose mother tongue is other than English. Other substitutions or +omissions are necessary in the case of subjects who are illiterate. + +7. Care should be taken to ascertain the correct age. This is often +misstated both by young normal children and by defectives. The age +should be recorded in years _and months_. + +8. In ordinary calculation of the intelligence quotient without any +mechanical aid (as slide rule, calculating chart, or table), both age +and mental age should be reduced to months before dividing. + +9. To avoid the danger of large error it is absolutely essential that +the adding of credits to secure mental age and the dividing of mental +age by chronological age to secure the intelligence quotient be +performed twice. + +10. Finally, in calculating the intelligence quotient of subjects who +are more than sixteen years old, the chronological age should be +counted as sixteen. It is possible, as certain army data suggest, +that a lower age than sixteen should have been taken, but until the +matter has been more thoroughly investigated by the use of unselected +adult subjects the age sixteen will continue to be used in the +Stanford Revision. + + + + +DIRECTIONS: THE TESTS[2] + +[Footnote 2: Detailed directions for administering Stanford-Binet +Scale and for scoring are available in Terman's _The Measurement of +Intelligence_. (Riverside Textbooks in Education.) Houghton Mifflin +Company.] + + + + +Year III + + +1. _Pointing to Parts of Body_ + +Say, "Show me your nose." "Put your finger on your nose." If two or +three repetitions of instructions bring no response, say, "Is this +(pointing to chin) your nose?" "No?" "Then where is your nose?" Same +for eyes, mouth, and hair. + +Credit if correct part is indicated (in any way) three times out of +four. + + +2. _Naming Familiar Objects_ + +Show S., one at a time, key (not Yale), penny (not new), closed +knife, watch, pencil. Say each time, "What is this?" or, "Tell me +what this is." + +Credit if three responses out of five are correct. + + +3. _Pictures--Enumeration_ + +Say, "Now I am going to show you a pretty picture." Show picture +(_a_) and say, "Tell me what you see in this picture," or, "Look at +the picture and tell me everything you can see in it." If no +response, "Show me the ----." "That is fine: now tell me everything +you see in the picture." If necessary ask, "And what else?" Same for +pictures (_b_) and (_c_). + +Credit if at least three objects in one picture are enumerated +spontaneously, or if one picture is described or interpreted. + + +4. _Giving Sex_ + +If S. is a boy, "Are you a little boy or a little girl?" If S. is a +girl, "Are you a little girl or a little boy?" If no response, "Are +you a little girl?" (if a boy); or "Are you a little boy?" (if a +girl). If answer is "No," say, "Well, what are you? Are you a little +boy or a little girl?" (or vice versa). + + +5. _Giving Last Name_ + +Ask, "What is your name?" If answer is only first or last name, e.g., +Walter, say, "Yes, but what is your other name? Walter what?" and if +necessary, "Is your name Walter Smith?" + + +6. _Repeating Sentences_ + +"Can you say, 'nice kitty'?" "Now say, 'I have a little dog.'" If no +response, repeat first sentence two or three times. Same procedure +for (_b_) "The dog runs after the cat" and (_c_) "In summer the sun +is hot," except that these may be given only once. + +Credit if at least one sentence is given without error after a single +reading. + + +_Alt. Repeating Three Digits_ + +Say, "Listen. Say, 4, 2. Now say, 6, 4, 1." Same for 3, 5, 2, and 8, +3, 7. May repeat (_a_), not others. Rate, a little faster than one +digit per second. + +Credit if one set out of the three is given correctly after a single +reading. + + + + +Year IV + + +1. _Comparison of Lines_ + +Show card (IV 1) and say, "See these lines. Look closely and tell me +which one is longer. Put your finger on the longest one." If no +response, "Show me which line is the biggest." Show twice more +(reversing card at second showing) and ask, "Which one is the longest +here?" If only two out of three are correct, repeat the entire test. + +Credit if three responses out of three, or five out of six, are +correct. + + +2. _Discrimination of Forms_ + +Use the forms supplied with the package of Test Material. One of the +two cards containing the forms is to be cut up, so that the forms may +be placed one at a time on the other card at "X." + +Place circle at "X" on card and say, "Show me one like this," at same +time passing the finger around the circumference of the circle. If no +response, "Do you see all of these things?" (running finger over the +various forms). "And do you see this one?" (pointing to circle +again). "Now, find me another one just like this." A first error +should be corrected thus, "No, find one just like this" (again +passing finger around the outline of form at "X"). Make no comment on +any other errors, but pass on to the square, then the triangle, and +the rest in any order. Commend successes. + +Credit for 7 correct choices out of 10. The first error, if +corrected, counts as correct. + + +3. _Counting Four Pennies_ + +Place four pennies in a horizontal row. Say, "See these pennies. +Count them and tell me how many there are. Count them with your +finger, this way" (pointing to the first one on the subject's +left)--"One. Now, go ahead." If S. gives number without pointing, +say, "No, count them with your finger, this way," starting him as +before. Have S. count aloud. + +Credit for correct count tallying with pointing. + + +4. _Copying Square_ + +Show S. the square and say, "You see that?" (pointing to square). "I +want you to make one just like it. Make it right here" (showing space +on record blank). "Go ahead. I know you can do it nicely." Unless +drawing is clearly satisfactory, repeat twice more, saying each time +"Make it exactly like this," pointing to model. Pencil. + +Credit if one drawing is satisfactory. Score liberally. (See scoring +card.) + + +5. _Comprehension_ + +Be sure to get S.'s attention before asking question. Repeat if +necessary. Allow 20 seconds for answer. + +(_a_) "What must you do when you are sleepy?" + +(_b_) "What ought you to do when you are cold?" + +(_c_) "What ought you to do when you are hungry?" + +Credit if two responses of the three are correct. (See _The +Measurement of Intelligence_, p. 158.) + + +6. _Repeating Four Digits_ + +Say, "Listen. I am going to say over some numbers and after I am +through, I want you to say them exactly as I do. Listen closely and +get them just right." Give (_a_) 4, 7, 3, 9, then (_b_) 2, 8, 5, 4, +and (_c_) 7, 2, 6, 1, if necessary. May repeat (_a_) until attempt is +made, but not others. Rate, a little faster than one digit per +second. + +Credit if one set of the three is correctly repeated in order, after +a single reading. + + +7. _Alt. Repeating Sentences_ + +Say, "Listen; say this, 'Where is kitty?'" "Now, say this, ----," +reading the first sentence in a natural voice, distinctly and with +expression. May re-read the first sentence. + +(_a_) "The boy's name is John. He is a very good boy." + +(_b_) "When the train passes you will hear the whistle blow." + +(_c_) "We are going to have a good time in the country." + +Credit if at least one sentence is repeated correctly after a single +reading. + + + + +Year V + + +1. _Comparison of Weights_ + +Place the 3 and 15 gram weights before S., 2 or 3 inches apart. Say, +"You see these blocks. They look just alike, but one of them is heavy +and one is light. Try them and tell me which one is heavier." Repeat +instructions if necessary, saying, "Tell me which one is the +heaviest." If S. merely points without lifting blocks, or picks up +one at random, say, "No, that is not the way. You must take the +blocks in your hands and try them, like this." (Illustrate.) Give +second trial with position of weights reversed; third trial with +weights in same position as first. + +Credit if two of three comparisons are correct. + + +2. _Naming Colors_ + +Show card (V 2) and say, pointing to colors in the order, red, +yellow, blue, green, "What is the name of that color?" + +Credit if all colors are correctly named, without marked uncertainty. + + +3. _Æsthetic Comparison_ + +Show pairs of faces in order from top to bottom of card (V 3). Say, +"Which of these two pictures is the prettiest?" + +Credit if all _three_ comparisons are made correctly. + + +4. _Definitions: Use or Better_ + +Say, "You have seen a chair. You know what a chair is. Tell me, what +is a chair?" If necessary urge as follows: "I am sure you know what a +chair is. You have seen a chair." "Now, tell me, what is a chair?" If +S. rambles say, "Yes, but tell me; what is a chair?" Same for horse, +fork, doll, pencil, table. + +Credit if four words out of the six are defined in terms of use or +better. (See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, p. 168.) + + +5. _Patience_ + +Use two cards, each 2 x 3 inches. Divide one of them diagonally into +two triangles. Place the uncut card on the table with one of the +longer sides toward S. Then lay the divided card thus [Illustration], +and say, "I want you to take these two pieces (touching the two +triangles) and put them together so they will look exactly like this" +(pointing to rectangle). If S. hesitates, repeat instructions with a +little urging. If first attempt is a failure, replace pieces, saying, +"No; put them together so they will look like this" (pointing to +rectangle). Do not suggest further by face or word whether response +is correct. If a piece is turned over, turn it back and don't count +that trial. Give, if necessary, three trials of one minute each. + +Credit if two of the three trials are successful. + + +6. _Three Commissions_ + +Take S. to center of room. Say, "Now, I want you to do something for +me. Here's a key. I want you to put it on that chair over there; then +I want you to shut (or open) that door, and then bring me the box +which you see over there" (pointing in turn to the objects +designated). "Do you understand? Be sure to get it right. First, put +the key on the chair, then shut (or open) the door, then bring me the +box (again pointing). Go ahead." Stress words first and then. Give no +further aid. + +Credit if the three commissions are executed in proper order. + + +_Alt. Giving Age_ + +Say, "How old are you?" + + + + +Year VI + + +1. _Right and Left_ + +Say, "Show me your right hand" (stress right and hand, etc., rather +strongly and equally). Same for left ear, right eye. If there is one +error, repeat whole test, using left hand, right ear, left eye. Avoid +giving aid in any way. + +Credit if three of three, or five of six responses are correct. + + +2. _Missing Parts_ + +Show card (VI 2) and say, "There is something wrong with this face. +It is not all there. Part of it is left out. Look carefully and tell +me what part of the face is not there." Same for (_b_) and (_c_). If +S. gives irrelevant answer, say, "No; I am talking about the face. +Look again and tell me what is left out of the face." If correct +response does not follow, point to the place where eye should be and +say, "See, the eye is gone." Then proceed to others, asking, "What is +left out of this face?" For (_d_) say, "What is left out of this +picture?" No help except on (_a_). Order is eyes, mouth, nose, arms. + +Credit if correct response is made for three of four pictures. + + +3. _Counting Thirteen Pennies_ + +Place thirteen pennies in horizontal row. Say, "See these pennies. +Count them and tell me how many there are. Count them with your +finger, this way" (pointing to the first one on the subject's +left)--"One. Now, go ahead." If S. gives number without pointing, +say, "No, count them with your finger, this way," starting him as +before. Have S. count aloud. Second trial given if only minor mistake +is made. + +Credit if one correct count, tallying with the pointing, is made in +first or second trials. + + +4. _Comprehension_ + +Say (_a_) "What's the thing to do if it is raining when you start to +school?" + +(_b_) "What's the thing to do if you find that your house is on +fire?" + +(_c_) "What's the thing to do if you are going some place and miss +your train (car)?" May repeat a question, but do not change form. + +Credit if two of three responses are correct. (See _The Measurement +of Intelligence_, pp. 182-83.) + + +5. _Naming Four Coins_ + +Show in order nickel, penny, quarter, dime, asking, "What is that?" +If answer is "money," say, "Yes, but what do you call that piece of +money?" + +Credit if three of four responses are correct. + + +6. _Repeating Sentences_ + +Say, "Now, listen. I am going to say something and after I am through +I want you to say it over just as I do. Understand? Listen carefully +and be sure to say exactly what I say." Repeat, "say exactly what I +say," before reading each sentence. Do not re-read any sentence. + +(_a_) "We are having a fine time. We found a little mouse in the +trap." + +(_b_) "Walter had a fine time on his vacation. He went fishing every +day." + +(_c_) "We will go out for a long walk. Please give me my pretty straw +hat." + +Credit if one sentence out of three is repeated without error, or two +with not more than one error each. + + +_Alt.

If P.M., "Is it afternoon +or morning?" + + + + +Year VII + + +1. _Giving Numbers of Fingers_ + +Say, "How many fingers have you on one hand?" "How many on the other +hand?" "How many on both hands together?" If S. begins to count, say, +"No, don't count. Tell me without counting," and repeat question. + +Credit if all three questions are answered correctly and promptly +without counting (5, 5, 10 or 4, 4, 8). + + +2. _Pictures; Description_ + +Show card (_a_) and say, "What is this picture about?" "What is this +a picture of?" May repeat question, but do not change it. Same for +(_b_) and (_c_). Order, Dutch Home, Canoe, Post Office. + +Credit if two of the three pictures are described or interpreted. +(See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 191-92.) + + +3. _Repeating Five Digits_ + +Say, "Now, listen. I am going to say over some numbers and after I am +through, I want you to say them exactly as I do. Listen closely and +get them just right." Give (_a_) 3, 1, 7, 5, 9, and if necessary +(_b_) 4, 2, 8, 3, 5, and (_c_), 9, 8, 1, 7, 6. Do not re-read any +set. Avoid grouping. + +Credit if one set of the three is given correctly. + + +4. _Tying Bow Knot_ + +Show S. a completed bow knot (shoestring tied around a pencil) and +say: "You know what kind of a knot this is, don't you? It is a bow +knot. I want you to take this other piece of string and tie the same +kind of knot around my finger." Give S. string of same length and +hold finger conveniently for S. + +Credit if double bow (both ends folded in) is tied within one minute. +The usual half knot as basis must not be omitted. Single bow, half +credit. + + +5. _Giving Differences_ + +Say, "What is the difference between a fly and a butterfly?" If S. +does not understand, say, "You know flies, do you not? You have seen +flies? And you know the butterflies? Now, tell me the difference +between a fly and a butterfly." Same for stone and egg, and wood and +glass. + +Credit if any real difference is given in two of three questions. +(See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 200-01.) + + +6. _Copying Diamond_ + +Place diamond before S., and give pen, saying, "I want you to draw +one exactly like this. Make it right here" (showing space on record +blank). Give three trials if necessary, saying each time, "Make it +exactly like this one." (Note that pen and ink must be used.) + +Credit if two drawings are satisfactory. (See scoring card.) + + +_Alt. 1. Naming Days of Week_ + +Say, "You know the days of the week, do you not? Name the days of the +week for me." If response is correct, check by asking, "What day +comes before Tuesday?" "Before Thursday?" "Before Friday?" + +Credit if correct response is given within 15 seconds, and if two of +three checks are correct. + + +_Alt. 2. Three Digits Backwards_ + +Say, "Listen carefully. I am going to read some numbers again but +this time I want you to say them backwards. For example, if I should +say 5--1--4, you would say 4--1--5. Do you understand?" Then, "Ready, +now; listen carefully, and be sure to say the numbers backwards." If +S. gives digits forwards, repeat instructions. If necessary, give +(_b_) and (_c_), repeating, "Ready, now; listen carefully, and be +sure to say the numbers backwards." 2, 8, 3; 4, 2, 7; 9, 5, 8. + +Credit if one set is repeated backwards without error. + + + + +Year VIII + + +1. _Ball and Field_ + +Present "round field" on record blank with gate facing S. and say, +"Let us suppose that your baseball has been lost in this round field. +You have no idea what part of the field it is in. You don't know what +direction it came from, how it got there, nor with what force it +came. All you know is that the ball is lost somewhere in the field. +Now, take this pencil and mark out a path to show me how you would +hunt for the ball so as to be sure not to miss it. Begin at the gate +and show me what path you would take." If S. stops, say, "But suppose +you have not found it yet, which direction would you go next?" + +Credit in Year VIII for "inferior" plan (or better); in Years VIII +and XII for "superior" plan. (See scoring card.) + + +2. _Counting 20 to 1_ + +Say, "You can count backwards, can you not? I want you to count +backwards for me from 20 to 1. Go ahead." If S. counts 1-20 say, "No, +I want you to count backwards from 20 to 1, like this: 20--19--18 and +clear on down to 1. Now, go ahead." Have S. try, even if he says he +cannot, but do not prompt. + +Credit for counting from 20 to 1 within 40 seconds with not more than +one error. Spontaneous corrections allowed. + + +3. _Comprehension_ + +Say, "What's the thing for you to do: + +(_a_) "When you have broken something which belongs to some one else? + +(_b_) "When you are on your way to school and notice that you are in +danger of being late? + +(_c_) "If a playmate hits you without meaning to do it?" + +Questions may be repeated once or twice, but form must not be +changed. + +Credit if two of three responses are correct.

If the words were changed around in the right order they +would make a good sentence. Look carefully and see if you can tell me +how the sentence ought to read." Do not hurry S., but allow only one +minute. If S. fails on the first sentence, read it for him slowly and +correctly, pointing at each word as you speak it. Same procedure for +second and third, except that no help is given. + +Credit if two sentences of three are correct, or one correct and two +nearly correct. Time, one minute each. (See _The Measurement of +Intelligence_, p. 288.) + + +5. _Interpretation of Fables_ + +Present fables in order given below. Say, "You know what a fable is? +Fables, you know, are little stories which teach us a lesson. I am +going to read a fable to you.

Proceed with (_b_), (_c_), (_d_), and (_e_) +thus: "Here is another. Listen again and tell me what lesson this +fable teaches us." After each ask, "What lesson does that teach us?" + + +(_a_) Hercules and the wagoner + +A man was driving along a country road, when the wheels suddenly sank +in a deep rut. The man did nothing but look at the wagon and call +loudly to Hercules to come and help him. Hercules came up, looked at +the man, and said: "Put your shoulder to the wheel, my man, and whip +up your oxen." Then he went away and left the driver. + + +(_b_) The milkmaid and her plans + +A milkmaid was carrying her pail of milk on her head, and was +thinking to herself thus: "The money for this milk will buy 4 hens; +the hens will lay at least 100 eggs; the eggs will produce at least +75 chicks; and with the money which the chicks will bring I can buy a +new dress to wear instead of the ragged one I have on." At this +moment she looked down at herself, trying to think how she would look +in her new dress; but as she did so the pail of milk slipped from her +head and dashed upon the ground. Thus all her imaginary schemes +perished in a moment. + + +(_c_) The fox and the crow + +A crow, having stolen a bit of meat, perched in a tree and held it in +her beak. A fox, seeing her, wished to secure the meat, and spoke to +the crow thus: "How handsome you are! And I have heard that the +beauty of your voice is equal to that of your form and feathers. Will +you not sing for me, so that I may judge whether this is true?" The +crow was so pleased that she opened her mouth to sing and dropped the +meat, which the fox immediately ate. + + +(_d_) The farmer and the stork + +A farmer set some traps to catch cranes which had been eating his +seed. With them he caught a stork. The stork, which had not really +been stealing, begged the farmer to spare his life, saying that he +was a bird of excellent character, that he was not at all like the +cranes, and that the farmer should have pity on him. But the farmer +said: "I have caught you with these robbers, the cranes, and you have +got to die with them." + + +(_e_) The miller, his son, and the donkey + +A miller and his son were driving their donkey to a neighboring town +to sell him. They had not gone far when a child saw them and cried +out: "What fools those fellows are to be trudging along on foot when +one of them might be riding." The old man, hearing this, made his son +get on the donkey, while he himself walked. Soon they came upon some +men. "Look," said one of them, "see that lazy boy riding while his +old father has to walk." On hearing this the miller made his son get +off, and he climbed upon the donkey himself. Farther on they met a +company of women, who shouted out: "Why, you lazy old fellow, to ride +along so comfortably while your poor boy there can hardly keep pace +by the side of you!" And so the good-natured miller took his boy up +behind him and both of them rode. As they came to the town a citizen +said to them, "Why, you cruel fellows! You two are better able to +carry the poor little donkey than he is to carry you." "Very well," +said the miller, "we will try." So both of them jumped to the ground, +got some ropes, tied the donkey's legs to a pole and tried to carry +him. But as they crossed the bridge the donkey became frightened, +kicked loose, and fell into the stream. + + +Credit in Year XII if score is 4 points or more; in Year XVI if score +is 8 points or more.

Whatever +the answer, unfold the paper and hold it up broadside for S.'s +inspection. Next, take another sheet, fold it once as before and say, +"Now, when we folded it this way and cut out a piece, you remember it +made one hole in the paper. This time we will give the paper another +fold and see how many holes we shall have." Then proceed to fold the +paper again, this time in the other direction, cut out a piece from +the folded side, and ask how many holes there will be when the paper +is unfolded. Then unfold the paper, hold it up before S. so as to let +him see the result. Whatever the answer, proceed with the third +sheet. Fold it once and say, "When we folded it this way there was +one hole." Fold it again and say, "And when we folded it this way +there were two holes."

They go +(pointing) a b c, d e f, g h i, j k l, m n o, p q r, s t u v, w x y +z. You see the letters in the first two diagrams are arranged in the +up-and-down order (pointing again), and the letters in the other two +diagrams run in just the opposite way from the hands of a clock +(pointing). Look again and you will see that the second diagram is +just like the first, except that each letter has a dot with it, and +that the last diagram is like the third except that here, also, each +letter has a dot. Now, all of this represents a code; that is, a +secret language. It is a real code, one that was used in the Civil +War for sending secret messages. This is the way it works: We draw +the lines which hold a letter, but leave out the letter. Here, for +example, is the way we would write 'spy.'" Then write the words "spy" +and "trench," pointing out carefully where each letter comes from, +and emphasizing the fact that the dot must be used in addition to the +lines in writing any letter in the second or fourth diagram. Then +add: "I am going to have you write something for me; remember, now, +how the letters go, first (pointing, as before) a b c, d e f, g h i, +then j k l, m n o, p q r, then s t u v, then w x y z.

Do not re-read any sentence. + +(_a_) Walter likes very much to go on visits to his grandmother, +because she always tells him many funny stories. + +(_b_) Yesterday I saw a pretty little dog in the street. It had curly +brown hair, short legs, and a long tail. + +Credit if one sentence is repeated without a single error. + + +_Alt. 2. Comprehension of Physical Relations_ + +(_a_) Draw a horizontal line 6 or 8 inches long. An inch or two above +it draw a horizontal line about an inch long parallel to the first. +Say, "The long line represents the perfectly level ground of a field, +and the short line represents a cannon. The cannon is pointed +horizontally (on a level) and is fired across this perfectly level +field." After it is clear that these conditions of the problem are +comprehended, add, "Now, suppose that this cannon is fired off and +that the ball comes to the ground at this point here (pointing to the +farther end of the line which represents the field). Take this pencil +and draw a line which will show what path the cannon ball will take +from the time it leaves the mouth of the cannon till it strikes the +ground." + +(_b_) Say, "You know, of course, that water holds up a fish that is +placed in it. Well, here is a problem: Suppose we have a bucket which +is partly full of water. We place the bucket on the scales and find +that with the water in it it weighs exactly 45 pounds. Then we put a +5-pound fish into the bucket of water. Now, what will the whole thing +weigh?" If S. responds correctly, say, "How can this be correct, +since the water itself holds up the fish?" + +(_c_) "You know, do you not, what it means when they say a gun +'carries 100 yards?' It means that the bullet goes 100 yards before +it drops to amount to anything." When this is clear, proceed, "Now, +suppose a man is shooting at a mark about the size of a quart can. +His rifle carries perfectly more than 100 yards. With such a gun is +it any harder to hit the mark at 100 yards than it is at 50 yards?" + +Credit if two of the three problems are satisfactorily solved. + +For (_a_), line must begin almost on a level and drop more rapidly +toward the end. + +For (_b_), S. must adhere positively to right answer. + +For (_c_), S. must know that a small deviation at 50 yards becomes a +larger deviation at 100 yards. + +(See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 333-36 for important +scoring rules.) + + + + +Year XVIII + + +1. _Vocabulary_ + +See last section. + +75 satisfactory definitions if both lists are given; 38 if only one +list is given. + + +2. _Paper-Cutting Test_ + +When this test is given it should precede XIV 2. + +Take a piece of paper about 6 inches square and say, "Watch carefully +what I do. See, I fold the paper this way (folding it once over in +the middle). Then I fold it this way (folding it again in the middle, +but at right angles to the first fold). Now, I will cut out a notch +right here" (indicating). Cut notch, keeping fragments out of view. +Leave folded paper exposed, but pressed flat against table. Then give +S. a pencil and a second sheet of paper like the one already used and +say, "Take this piece of paper and make a drawing to show how the +other sheet of paper would look if it were unfolded. Draw lines to +show the creases in the paper and show what results from the +cutting." Do not permit S. to fold second sheet, and do not say, +"draw the holes." + +Credit if creases are correctly represented, with correct number of +holes correctly located. + + +3. _Repeating Eight Digits_ + +Say, "Now, listen. I am going to say over some numbers and after I am +through, I want you to say them exactly as I do. Listen closely and +get them just right." Give (_a_), and if necessary (_b_) and (_c_). +7, 2, 5, 3, 4, 8, 9, 6; 4, 9, 8, 5, 3, 7, 6, 2; 8, 3, 7, 9, 5, 4, +8, 2. + +Credit if one set is reproduced without error. + + +4. _Repeating Thought of Passage_ + +Say, "I am going to read a little selection of about six or eight +lines. When I am through I will ask you to repeat as much of it as +you can. It doesn't make any difference whether you remember the +exact words or not, but you must listen carefully so that you can +tell me everything it says." Read (_a_), and if necessary (_b_), +recording response verbatim. Urge S. to give thought of selection in +his own words, if he hesitates. + +(_a_) Tests, such as we are now making, are of value both for the +advancement of science and for the information of the person who is +tested. It is important for science to learn how people differ and on +what factors these differences depend. If we can separate the +influence of heredity from the influence of environment, we may be +able to apply our knowledge so as to guide human development. We may +thus in some cases correct defects and develop abilities which we +might otherwise neglect. + +(_b_) Many opinions have been given on the value of life. Some call +it good, others call it bad. It would be nearer correct to say that +it is mediocre; for on the one hand our happiness is never as great +as we should like, and on the other hand our misfortunes are never as +great as our enemies would wish for us. It is this mediocrity of life +which prevents it from being radically unjust. + +Credit if main thoughts of one of the selections are given in +reasonably consecutive order. (See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, +pp. 340-43.) + + +5. _Seven Digits Backwards_ + +Say, "Listen carefully, I am going to read some numbers, and I want +you to say them backwards. For example, if I should say 5--1--4 you +would say 4--1--5. Do you understand?" Then, "Ready now, listen +carefully, and be sure to say the numbers backwards." If S. gives the +digits forwards, repeat instructions. If necessary, give (_b_) and +(_c_), repeating each time: "Ready now, listen carefully, and be sure +to say the numbers backwards." 4, 1, 6, 2, 5, 9, 3; 3, 8, 2, 6, 4, +7, 5; 9, 4, 5, 2, 8, 3, 7. + +Credit if one set is repeated backwards without error. + + +6. _Ingenuity Test_ + +State problem (_a_) orally, repeating it if S. does not respond +promptly. Do not allow S. to use pencil or paper, and ask him to give +his solution orally as he works it out. Record his statement in full. +If S. resorts to some such method as "fill the 3-pint vessel +two-thirds full," or "I would mark the inside of the 5-pint vessel so +as to show where 4 pints come to," etc., inform him that such a +method is not allowable; that this would be guessing, since he could +not be sure when the 3-pint vessel was two-thirds full, or whether he +had marked off his 5-pint vessel accurately. Tell him he must measure +out the water without any guesswork and explain also that it is a +fair problem, not a "catch." Say nothing about pouring from one +vessel to another, but if S. asks whether this is permissible, say +"yes." If S. has not solved (_a_) correctly within five minutes, +explain the solution in full and proceed to (_b_). State (_b_) orally +and allow S. five minutes for its solution. Do not explain in case of +failure. If S. succeeds on either (_a_) or (_b_), but not with both, +give problem (_c_) orally, allowing five minutes for this also. + +(_a_) "A mother sent her boy to the river and told him to bring back +exactly 7 pints of water. She gave him a 3-pint vessel and a 5-pint +vessel. Show me how the boy can measure out exactly 7 pints of water, +using nothing but these two vessels and not guessing at the amount. +You should begin by filling the 5-pint vessel first. Remember, you +have a 3-pint vessel and a 5-pint vessel, and you must bring back +exactly 7 pints." + +Same formula for (_b_) 5 and 7, get 8. Begin with 5; and (_c_) 4 and +9, get 7. Begin with 4. + +Credit if two of the three problems are solved correctly, each within +five minutes. + + + + +_Vocabulary_ + + +"I want to find out how many words you know. Listen; and when I say a +word, you tell me what it means. What is an orange?" etc. If S. can +read, let him see the words on the vocabulary lists. Continue in each +list till 6 or 8 successive words have been missed. If S. thinks +formal definition is required, say: "Just tell me in your own words; +say it any way you please. All I want is to find out whether you know +what a ---- is." May ask S. to explain what he means if it is not +clear. + + List 1 List 2 + 1. gown 1. orange + 2. tap 2. bonfire + 3. scorch 3. straw + 4. puddle 4. roar + 5. envelope 5. haste + 6. rule 6. afloat + 7. health 7. guitar + 8. eye-lash 8. mellow + 9. copper 9. impolite + 10. curse 10. plumbing + 11. pork 11. noticeable + 12. outward 12. muzzle + 13. southern 13. quake + 14. lecture 14. reception + 15. dungeon 15. majesty + 16. skill 16. treasury + 17. ramble 17. misuse + 18. civil 18. crunch + 19. insure 19. forfeit + 20. nerve 20. sportive + 21. juggler 21. apish + 22. regard 22. snip + 23. stave 23. shrewd + 24. brunette 24. repose + 25. hysterics 25. peculiarity + 26.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included.

S. A.</small></center> +<br> +<br> +<br> +<br> +<h3>PREFACE</h3> +<br> + +<p>Since the appearance of the Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon +Intelligence Scale I have been frequently urged to prepare a +condensed guide which would make the application of the tests easier +and more convenient. I have hesitated somewhat to act upon this +suggestion because I have not wished to encourage the use of the +scale without the supplementary directions and explanations which are +set forth in the original text of the Stanford Revision.<small><small><sup>1</sup></small></small> The +demand has become so insistent, however, that I have decided to heed +it. I have been led to this decision largely by the fact that my +revision is now so generally used by examiners who are sufficiently +experienced to be trusted to follow the correct procedure without the +necessity of constantly consulting the complete text. Those who are +thoroughly familiar with the contents of the latter will find the +<i>Condensed Guide</i> a convenient help. It is impossible, however, to +warn the inexperienced examiner too emphatically against the dangers +inherent in the routine application of mental tests without some +knowledge of their derivation, meaning, and purpose. The necessary +psychological background for the use of the Binet scale I have tried +to supply in <i>The Measurement of Intelligence,</i> and in <i>The +Intelligence of School Children</i> I have explained the practical uses +of mental tests in the grading and classification of school children. +It is only as a supplement to these books that the procedure of the +Stanford Revision is here presented in abbreviated form.</p> + +<blockquote><small><small><sup>1</sup></small> Lewis M. Terman: <i>The Measurement of Intelligence</i>. +(Riverside Textbooks in Education.) Houghton Mifflin Company.</small></blockquote> + +<p>For the further aid of the experienced examiner a condensed record +blank has also been prepared. Although this is considerably cheaper +than the original Record Booklet and in certain respects perhaps +somewhat more convenient, it is not recommended as a satisfactory +substitute except when used by thoroughly trained examiners. +Beginners, at least, should continue to use the complete Record +Booklet both because of the accuracy of procedure which it fosters +and because of the advantages of having a complete verbatim record of +the responses. Besides being indispensable for the analytical study +of the child's mental processes, the complete record makes possible +the correction of errors in scoring and permits interesting +qualitative comparisons between earlier and later performances by the +same subject. It is believed that only for the veteran examiner, and +perhaps even then only in special cases, are these advantages +outweighed by the lower cost of the abbreviated blank.</p> + +<p>The labor of preparing this <i>Guide</i> was made considerably lighter +than it would otherwise have been by the fact that a similar guide +had been prepared in the Office of the Surgeon-General for use in the +army. I am greatly indebted to Dr. J. W. Bridges and to Major H. C. +Bingham for assistance in the preparation of the latter. Their +careful work has saved me many hours and has doubtless made the +<i>Condensed Guide</i> more accurate and serviceable than it could +otherwise have been.</p> + +<div align="right">L<small>EWIS</small> M. T<small>ERMAN</small> </div> + +<small> <i>Stanford University, March 31, 1920</i></small> +<br> +<br> +<br> +<br> +<h3>GENERAL DIRECTIONS</h3> +<br> + +<p>General directions for the use of the Stanford Revision have been +fully set forth in chapter <small>VIII</small> of <i>The Measurement of Intelligence</i>. +As this guide is only a handbook of procedure for the tests +themselves, I shall not here undertake either to summarize that +chapter or to add to it. I trust it may safely be assumed that no +responsible person will attempt to apply the tests who is not +familiar with the book which explains them and presents the general +considerations which should govern their use.</p> + +<p>However, extended observation of the difficulties which students and +teachers encounter in learning to use the Stanford Revision has +taught me that there are certain injunctions which cannot easily be +too often repeated. Among these the following "ten commandments" have +been selected for reëmphasis here:</p> + +<p>1. The subject's attention and coöperation must be secured. Thanks to +the novelty and inherent interest of the tests, this is usually not +difficult to do. But there are degrees of <i>rapport,</i> and the examiner +should not be satisfied with his efforts until the subject becomes +wholly absorbed in the tasks set him by the tests. The importance of +tactful encouragement and a kindly, genial manner cannot be too +strongly emphasized, nor, on the other hand, the risk incurred in +allowing a parent to witness the test. Hardly anything is more likely +to spoil an examination than the presence of a critical or +over-sympathetic parent. Sometimes the teacher's presence is hardly +less objectionable.</p> + +<p>2. The correct formulas should be thoroughly learned and strictly +adhered to. Unless this is done the scale used is not the Stanford +Revision, whatever else it may be. For the first fifty or hundred +examinations the tests should be given directly from this guide. +Little by little, as the procedure becomes memorized, the examiner +should attempt to free himself of the necessity of reading the +formulas, but for a long time it is necessary to check up one's +procedure by frequent reference to the Guide if practice in error is +to be avoided.</p> + +<p>3. The examiner should early learn to withstand the temptation of +wholesale coaxing and cross-questioning. To do so often robs the +response of significance and is likely to interfere with the +establishment of <i>rapport</i>. A simple "What do you mean?" or, "Explain +what you mean," is sufficient to clarify most answers which are not +clear. At the same time the examiner should be on guard against +mistaking exceptional timidity for inability to respond. Persuasive +encouragement is frequently necessary, but this should not be allowed +to degenerate into a chronic habit of coaxing.</p> + +<p>4. The record should always be made as the test proceeds. Memory +should never be trusted. As a rule enough of each response should be +recorded to enable one to score it at any time later. The great +advantage of the Record Booklet is that it permits this. Only the +most expert examiner should limit his record to pluses and minuses.</p> + +<p>5. The examination should be thorough. It should include at least one +year in which there is no failure and at least one year in which +there is no success. When lack of time necessitates an abbreviation +of the examination, this should be done by using only the starred +tests rather than by shortening the range of the examination.</p> + +<p>6. Success in alternative tests may not be substituted for failure in +one of the regular tests. Ordinarily the alternatives should be +omitted. They have been included in the scale chiefly as a +convenience in case materials are lacking for any of the regular +tests, or in case any of the latter should be deemed for some special +reason unsuitable. The ball and field test, for example, is often +rendered unsuitable by coaching, and one of the alternates should +always be substituted for the vocabulary test in the case of subjects +whose mother tongue is other than English. Other substitutions or +omissions are necessary in the case of subjects who are illiterate.</p> + +<p>7. Care should be taken to ascertain the correct age. This is often +misstated both by young normal children and by defectives. The age +should be recorded in years <i>and months</i>.</p> + +<p>8. In ordinary calculation of the intelligence quotient without any +mechanical aid (as slide rule, calculating chart, or table), both age +and mental age should be reduced to months before dividing.</p> + +<p>9. <b>To avoid the danger of large error it is absolutely essential that +the adding of credits to secure mental age and the dividing of mental +age by chronological age to secure the intelligence quotient be +performed twice.</b></p> + +<p>10. Finally, in calculating the intelligence quotient of subjects who +are more than sixteen years old, the chronological age should be +counted as sixteen. It is possible, as certain army data suggest, +that a lower age than sixteen should have been taken, but until the +matter has been more thoroughly investigated by the use of unselected +adult subjects the age sixteen will continue to be used in the +Stanford Revision.</p> +<br> +<br> +<br> +<br> +<h3>DIRECTIONS: THE TESTS<small><small><sup>2</sup></small></small></h3> + +<blockquote><small><small><sup>2</sup></small> Detailed directions for administering Stanford-Binet +Scale and for scoring are available in Terman's <i>The Measurement of +Intelligence</i>.

TERMAN + +ALL RIGHTS RESERVED + + + + +_The Riverside Press_ + +CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS + +PRINTED IN THE U. S. A. + + + + +PREFACE + + +Since the appearance of the Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon +Intelligence Scale I have been frequently urged to prepare a +condensed guide which would make the application of the tests easier +and more convenient. I have hesitated somewhat to act upon this +suggestion because I have not wished to encourage the use of the +scale without the supplementary directions and explanations which are +set forth in the original text of the Stanford Revision.[1] The +demand has become so insistent, however, that I have decided to heed +it. I have been led to this decision largely by the fact that my +revision is now so generally used by examiners who are sufficiently +experienced to be trusted to follow the correct procedure without the +necessity of constantly consulting the complete text. Those who are +thoroughly familiar with the contents of the latter will find the +_Condensed Guide_ a convenient help. It is impossible, however, to +warn the inexperienced examiner too emphatically against the dangers +inherent in the routine application of mental tests without some +knowledge of their derivation, meaning, and purpose. The necessary +psychological background for the use of the Binet scale I have tried +to supply in _The Measurement of Intelligence_, and in _The +Intelligence of School Children_ I have explained the practical uses +of mental tests in the grading and classification of school children. +It is only as a supplement to these books that the procedure of the +Stanford Revision is here presented in abbreviated form. + +[Footnote 1: Lewis M. Terman: _The Measurement of Intelligence_. +(Riverside Textbooks in Education.) Houghton Mifflin Company.] + +For the further aid of the experienced examiner a condensed record +blank has also been prepared. Although this is considerably cheaper +than the original Record Booklet and in certain respects perhaps +somewhat more convenient, it is not recommended as a satisfactory +substitute except when used by thoroughly trained examiners. +Beginners, at least, should continue to use the complete Record +Booklet both because of the accuracy of procedure which it fosters +and because of the advantages of having a complete verbatim record of +the responses. Besides being indispensable for the analytical study +of the child's mental processes, the complete record makes possible +the correction of errors in scoring and permits interesting +qualitative comparisons between earlier and later performances by the +same subject. It is believed that only for the veteran examiner, and +perhaps even then only in special cases, are these advantages +outweighed by the lower cost of the abbreviated blank. + +The labor of preparing this _Guide_ was made considerably lighter +than it would otherwise have been by the fact that a similar guide +had been prepared in the Office of the Surgeon-General for use in the +army. I am greatly indebted to Dr. J. W. Bridges and to Major H. C. +Bingham for assistance in the preparation of the latter. Their +careful work has saved me many hours and has doubtless made the +_Condensed Guide_ more accurate and serviceable than it could +otherwise have been. + +LEWIS M. TERMAN + +_Stanford University, March 31, 1920_ + + + + +GENERAL DIRECTIONS + + +General directions for the use of the Stanford Revision have been +fully set forth in chapter VIII of _The Measurement of Intelligence_. +As this guide is only a handbook of procedure for the tests +themselves, I shall not here undertake either to summarize that +chapter or to add to it. I trust it may safely be assumed that no +responsible person will attempt to apply the tests who is not +familiar with the book which explains them and presents the general +considerations which should govern their use. + +However, extended observation of the difficulties which students and +teachers encounter in learning to use the Stanford Revision has +taught me that there are certain injunctions which cannot easily be +too often repeated. Among these the following "ten commandments" have +been selected for reemphasis here: + +1. The subject's attention and cooeperation must be secured. Thanks to +the novelty and inherent interest of the tests, this is usually not +difficult to do. But there are degrees of _rapport_, and the examiner +should not be satisfied with his efforts until the subject becomes +wholly absorbed in the tasks set him by the tests. The importance of +tactful encouragement and a kindly, genial manner cannot be too +strongly emphasized, nor, on the other hand, the risk incurred in +allowing a parent to witness the test. Hardly anything is more likely +to spoil an examination than the presence of a critical or +over-sympathetic parent. Sometimes the teacher's presence is hardly +less objectionable. + +2. The correct formulas should be thoroughly learned and strictly +adhered to. Unless this is done the scale used is not the Stanford +Revision, whatever else it may be. For the first fifty or hundred +examinations the tests should be given directly from this guide. +Little by little, as the procedure becomes memorized, the examiner +should attempt to free himself of the necessity of reading the +formulas, but for a long time it is necessary to check up one's +procedure by frequent reference to the Guide if practice in error is +to be avoided. + +3. The examiner should early learn to withstand the temptation of +wholesale coaxing and cross-questioning. To do so often robs the +response of significance and is likely to interfere with the +establishment of _rapport_. A simple "What do you mean?" or, "Explain +what you mean," is sufficient to clarify most answers which are not +clear. At the same time the examiner should be on guard against +mistaking exceptional timidity for inability to respond. Persuasive +encouragement is frequently necessary, but this should not be allowed +to degenerate into a chronic habit of coaxing. + +4. The record should always be made as the test proceeds. Memory +should never be trusted. As a rule enough of each response should be +recorded to enable one to score it at any time later. The great +advantage of the Record Booklet is that it permits this. Only the +most expert examiner should limit his record to pluses and minuses. + +5. The examination should be thorough. It should include at least one +year in which there is no failure and at least one year in which +there is no success. When lack of time necessitates an abbreviation +of the examination, this should be done by using only the starred +tests rather than by shortening the range of the examination. + +6. Success in alternative tests may not be substituted for failure in +one of the regular tests. Ordinarily the alternatives should be +omitted. They have been included in the scale chiefly as a +convenience in case materials are lacking for any of the regular +tests, or in case any of the latter should be deemed for some special +reason unsuitable. The ball and field test, for example, is often +rendered unsuitable by coaching, and one of the alternates should +always be substituted for the vocabulary test in the case of subjects +whose mother tongue is other than English. Other substitutions or +omissions are necessary in the case of subjects who are illiterate. + +7. Care should be taken to ascertain the correct age. This is often +misstated both by young normal children and by defectives. The age +should be recorded in years _and months_. + +8. In ordinary calculation of the intelligence quotient without any +mechanical aid (as slide rule, calculating chart, or table), both age +and mental age should be reduced to months before dividing. + +9. To avoid the danger of large error it is absolutely essential that +the adding of credits to secure mental age and the dividing of mental +age by chronological age to secure the intelligence quotient be +performed twice. + +10. Finally, in calculating the intelligence quotient of subjects who +are more than sixteen years old, the chronological age should be +counted as sixteen. It is possible, as certain army data suggest, +that a lower age than sixteen should have been taken, but until the +matter has been more thoroughly investigated by the use of unselected +adult subjects the age sixteen will continue to be used in the +Stanford Revision. + + + + +DIRECTIONS: THE TESTS[2] + +[Footnote 2: Detailed directions for administering Stanford-Binet +Scale and for scoring are available in Terman's _The Measurement of +Intelligence_. (Riverside Textbooks in Education.) Houghton Mifflin +Company.] + + + + +Year III + + +1. _Pointing to Parts of Body_ + +Say, "Show me your nose." "Put your finger on your nose."

Repeat +instructions if necessary, saying, "Tell me which one is the +heaviest." If S. merely points without lifting blocks, or picks up +one at random, say, "No, that is not the way. You must take the +blocks in your hands and try them, like this." (Illustrate.) Give +second trial with position of weights reversed; third trial with +weights in same position as first. + +Credit if two of three comparisons are correct. + + +2. _Naming Colors_ + +Show card (V 2) and say, pointing to colors in the order, red, +yellow, blue, green, "What is the name of that color?" + +Credit if all colors are correctly named, without marked uncertainty. + + +3. _AEsthetic Comparison_ + +Show pairs of faces in order from top to bottom of card (V 3).

Question S. if +response is not clear. + +Credit if three of the five words are satisfactorily defined. (See +_The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 282-84.) + + +3. _Ball and Field_ + +Present "round field" on record blank with gate facing S. and say, +"Let us suppose that your baseball has been lost in this round field. +You have no idea what part of the field it is in. You don't know what +direction it came from, how it got there, nor with what force it +came. All you know is that the ball is lost somewhere in the field. +Now, take this pencil and mark out a path to show me how you would +hunt for the ball so as to be sure not to miss it. Begin at the gate +and show me what path you would take."

If the words were changed around in the right order they +would make a good sentence. Look carefully and see if you can tell me +how the sentence ought to read." Do not hurry S., but allow only one +minute. If S. fails on the first sentence, read it for him slowly and +correctly, pointing at each word as you speak it. Same procedure for +second and third, except that no help is given. + +Credit if two sentences of three are correct, or one correct and two +nearly correct. Time, one minute each. (See _The Measurement of +Intelligence_, p. 288.) + + +5. _Interpretation of Fables_ + +Present fables in order given below. Say, "You know what a fable is? +Fables, you know, are little stories which teach us a lesson. I am +going to read a fable to you. Listen carefully, and when I am through +I will ask you to tell me what lesson the fable teaches us." After +reading, say, "What lesson does that teach us?" Question S. if +response is not clear. Proceed with (_b_), (_c_), (_d_), and (_e_) +thus: "Here is another. Listen again and tell me what lesson this +fable teaches us." After each ask, "What lesson does that teach us?" + + +(_a_) Hercules and the wagoner + +A man was driving along a country road, when the wheels suddenly sank +in a deep rut. The man did nothing but look at the wagon and call +loudly to Hercules to come and help him. Hercules came up, looked at +the man, and said: "Put your shoulder to the wheel, my man, and whip +up your oxen." Then he went away and left the driver. + + +(_b_) The milkmaid and her plans + +A milkmaid was carrying her pail of milk on her head, and was +thinking to herself thus: "The money for this milk will buy 4 hens; +the hens will lay at least 100 eggs; the eggs will produce at least +75 chicks; and with the money which the chicks will bring I can buy a +new dress to wear instead of the ragged one I have on." At this +moment she looked down at herself, trying to think how she would look +in her new dress; but as she did so the pail of milk slipped from her +head and dashed upon the ground. Thus all her imaginary schemes +perished in a moment. + + +(_c_) The fox and the crow + +A crow, having stolen a bit of meat, perched in a tree and held it in +her beak. A fox, seeing her, wished to secure the meat, and spoke to +the crow thus: "How handsome you are! And I have heard that the +beauty of your voice is equal to that of your form and feathers. Will +you not sing for me, so that I may judge whether this is true?" The +crow was so pleased that she opened her mouth to sing and dropped the +meat, which the fox immediately ate. + + +(_d_) The farmer and the stork + +A farmer set some traps to catch cranes which had been eating his +seed. With them he caught a stork. The stork, which had not really +been stealing, begged the farmer to spare his life, saying that he +was a bird of excellent character, that he was not at all like the +cranes, and that the farmer should have pity on him. But the farmer +said: "I have caught you with these robbers, the cranes, and you have +got to die with them." + + +(_e_) The miller, his son, and the donkey + +A miller and his son were driving their donkey to a neighboring town +to sell him. They had not gone far when a child saw them and cried +out: "What fools those fellows are to be trudging along on foot when +one of them might be riding." The old man, hearing this, made his son +get on the donkey, while he himself walked. Soon they came upon some +men. "Look," said one of them, "see that lazy boy riding while his +old father has to walk." On hearing this the miller made his son get +off, and he climbed upon the donkey himself. Farther on they met a +company of women, who shouted out: "Why, you lazy old fellow, to ride +along so comfortably while your poor boy there can hardly keep pace +by the side of you!" And so the good-natured miller took his boy up +behind him and both of them rode. As they came to the town a citizen +said to them, "Why, you cruel fellows! You two are better able to +carry the poor little donkey than he is to carry you." "Very well," +said the miller, "we will try." So both of them jumped to the ground, +got some ropes, tied the donkey's legs to a pole and tried to carry +him. But as they crossed the bridge the donkey became frightened, +kicked loose, and fell into the stream. + + +Credit in Year XII if score is 4 points or more; in Year XVI if score +is 8 points or more. Allow 2 points for each fable for correct, and 1 +for partially correct response.

For example, if I should say 5--1--4, you would +say 4--1--5. Do you understand?" Then, "Ready now; listen carefully, +and be sure to say the numbers backwards." If S. gives digits +forwards, repeat instructions. If necessary, give (_b_) and (_c_), +repeating each time, "Ready now; listen carefully, and be sure to say +the numbers backwards." 3, 1, 8, 7, 9; 6, 9, 4, 8, 2; 5, 2, 9, 6, +1. + +Credit if one set is repeated backwards without error. + + +7. _Pictures; Interpretation_ + +Show in succession Dutch Home, River Scene, Post Office, and Colonial +House, saying each time, "Tell me what this picture is about. Explain +this picture." May prompt with, "Go ahead," or "Explain what you +mean." + +Credit if three of the four pictures are satisfactorily interpreted. +(See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 303-04.) + + +8. _Finding Likenesses; Three Things_ + +Say, "I am going to name three things which are alike in some way, +and I want you to tell me _how_ they are alike. Snake, cow, and +sparrow; in what way are they alike?" May repeat or urge with, "I'm +sure you can tell me how a snake, a cow, and a sparrow are alike," +but do not change form of question. If difference is given, say, "No, +I want you to tell me how they are _alike_. In what way are a snake, +a cow, and a sparrow alike?" Same for (_b_) book, teacher, newspaper; +(_c_) wool, cotton, leather; (_d_) knife-blade, penny, piece of wire; +(_e_) rose, potato, tree. + +Credit if any real similarity is given in three out of five trials. +(See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 307-08.) + + + + +Year XIV + + +1. _Vocabulary_ + +See last section. + +50 satisfactory definitions if both lists are given; 25 if only one +list is given. + + +2. _Induction Test_ + +(If XVIII 2 is to be given, it should precede this test.) Provide six +sheets of tissue paper, 8-1/2 by 11 inches. Take the first sheet, and +telling S. to watch what you do, fold it once, and in the middle of +the folded edge cut out a small notch; then ask S. to tell you how +many holes there will be in the paper when it is unfolded. Whatever +the answer, unfold the paper and hold it up broadside for S.'s +inspection. Next, take another sheet, fold it once as before and say, +"Now, when we folded it this way and cut out a piece, you remember it +made one hole in the paper. This time we will give the paper another +fold and see how many holes we shall have." Then proceed to fold the +paper again, this time in the other direction, cut out a piece from +the folded side, and ask how many holes there will be when the paper +is unfolded. Then unfold the paper, hold it up before S. so as to let +him see the result. Whatever the answer, proceed with the third +sheet. Fold it once and say, "When we folded it this way there was +one hole." Fold it again and say, "And when we folded it this way +there were two holes." Fold the paper a third time and say, "Now, I +am folding it again. How many holes will it have this time when I +unfold it?" Again unfold paper while S. looks on. Continue in the +same manner with sheets four, five, and six, adding one fold each +time. In folding each sheet recapitulate results, saying (with the +sixth, for example): "When we folded it this way there was one hole; +when we folded it again there were two; when we folded it again there +were four; when we folded it again there were eight; when we folded +it again there were sixteen; now tell me how many holes there will be +if we fold it once more." Avoid saying, "When we folded it once, +twice, three times." After sixth response, ask, "Can you tell me a +rule by which I could know each time how many holes there are going +to be?" + +Credit if answer to sixth question is correct, and governing rule is +correctly stated. + + +3. _President and King_ + +Say, "There are three main differences between a president and a +king; what are they?" If S. stops after one difference is given, urge +him on, if possible, until three are given. + +Credit if two of the three correct answers are given. + + +4. _Problem Questions_ + +Say, "Listen, and see if you can understand what I read." Then read +the problem slowly and with expression. If necessary, re-read +problem. + +(_a_) A man who was walking in the woods near a city stopped suddenly +very much frightened, and then ran to the nearest policeman, saying +that he had just seen hanging from the limb of a tree a ---- a what? + +If response is not clear, say, "Explain what you mean." + +(_b_) My neighbor has been having queer visitors. First, a doctor +came to his house, then a lawyer, then a minister (preacher or +priest). What do you think happened there? + +If response is simply "a death," etc., check up by asking what the +lawyer came for. + +(_c_) An Indian who had come to town for the first time in his life +saw a white man riding along the street. As the white man rode by, +the Indian said: "The white man is lazy; he walks sitting down." What +was the white man riding on that caused the Indian to say, "He walks +sitting down?" + +Credit if two of the three problems are satisfactorily answered. +Spontaneous corrections allowed. (See _The Measurement of +Intelligence_, pp. 316-18, for important scoring directions.) + + +5. _Arithmetical Reasoning_ + +{If a man's salary is $20 a week and he spends $14 a week, how long +will it take him to save $300? + +If 2 pencils cost 5 cents, how many pencils can you buy for 50 cents? + +At 15 cents a yard, how much will 7 feet of cloth cost?} + +Show S. the problems one at a time. Have S. read each problem aloud +and, with the printed problem still before him, find the answer +without the use of pencil or paper. In the case of illiterates, +examiner reads each problem for S. two or three times. + +Credit if two of the three problems are correctly solved, within one +minute each, not including time spent in reading. + + +6. _Reversing Hands of Clock_ + +Say, "Suppose it is six-twenty-two o'clock, that is, twenty-two +minutes after six; can you see in your mind where the large hand +would be, and where the small hand would be?" "Now, suppose the two +hands of the clock were to trade places, so that the large hand takes +the place where the small hand was, and the small hand takes the +place where the large hand was, what time would it then be?" Repeat +the test with the hands at 8.08 (8 minutes after 8),[3] and again +with the hands at 2.46 (14 minutes before 3). + +[Footnote 3: 8.08 is substituted instead of 8.10, formerly used, +because it is capable of more accurate solution and is less +confusing.] + +Credit if two of the three problems are solved with error of no more +than 3 or 4 minutes. + + +_Alt. Repeating Seven Digits_ + +"Now listen. I am going to say over some numbers and after I am +through, I want you to say them exactly as I do. Listen closely and +get them just right." Give (_a_) and if necessary (_b_). 2, 1, 8, 3, +4, 3, 9; 9, 7, 2, 8, 4, 7, 5. + +Credit if one set is reproduced without error. + + + + +Year XVI + + +1. _Vocabulary_ + +See last section. + +65 satisfactory definitions if both lists are given; 33 if only one +list is given. + + +2. _Interpretation of Fables_ + +See XII 5 for procedure. + +Allow 2 points for each fable correctly interpreted, and 1 if +response is somewhat inferior to the standard. Credit in XII if score +is 4 points or more; in XVI if score is 8 points or more. (Note +carefully scoring in _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 290-97.) + + +3. _Differences Between Abstract Terms_ + +Ask, "What is the difference between-- + +(_a_) "Laziness and idleness? + +(_b_) "Evolution and revolution? + +(_c_) "Poverty and misery? + +(_d_) "Character and reputation?" + +If answer is ambiguous, get S. to explain. If he merely defines the +words, say, "Yes, but I want you to tell me the difference between +---- and ----." + +Credit if three of the four answers are given correctly. (See _The +Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 325-26.) + + +4. _Enclosed Boxes_ + +Show S. a small cardboard box, and say, "Listen carefully. You see +this box; it has two smaller boxes inside of it, and each one of the +smaller boxes contains a little tiny box. How many boxes are there +altogether, counting the big one?" Allow one-half minute, record +answer, then show second box, saying, "This box has two smaller boxes +inside, and each of the smaller boxes contains _two_ tiny boxes. How +many altogether?" Similarly for (_c_) and (_d_), using three and +three, and four and four. Emphasize slightly the words "three" and +"four." + +Credit if three of the four problems are solved correctly within +one-half minute each. Spontaneous corrections are counted as correct. + + +5. _Six Digits Backwards_ + +Say "Listen carefully. I am going to read some numbers, and I want +you to say them backwards. For example, if I should say 5--1--4, you +would say 4--1--5. Do you understand?" Then, "Ready now; listen +carefully, and be sure to say the numbers backwards." If S. gives +digits forwards repeat instructions. If necessary, give (_b_) and +(_c_), repeating each time, "Ready now; listen carefully, and be sure +to say the numbers backwards." 4, 7, 1, 9, 5, 2; 5, 8, 3, 2, 9, 4; +7, 5, 2, 6, 3, 8. + +Credit if one set is repeated backwards without error. + + +6. _Code_ + +Show S. the code given on card (XVI 6). Say, "See these diagrams +here? Look and you will see that they contain all the letters of the +alphabet. Now, examine the arrangement of the letters. They go +(pointing) a b c, d e f, g h i, j k l, m n o, p q r, s t u v, w x y +z. You see the letters in the first two diagrams are arranged in the +up-and-down order (pointing again), and the letters in the other two +diagrams run in just the opposite way from the hands of a clock +(pointing). Look again and you will see that the second diagram is +just like the first, except that each letter has a dot with it, and +that the last diagram is like the third except that here, also, each +letter has a dot. Now, all of this represents a code; that is, a +secret language. It is a real code, one that was used in the Civil +War for sending secret messages. This is the way it works: We draw +the lines which hold a letter, but leave out the letter. Here, for +example, is the way we would write 'spy.'" Then write the words "spy" +and "trench," pointing out carefully where each letter comes from, +and emphasizing the fact that the dot must be used in addition to the +lines in writing any letter in the second or fourth diagram. Then +add: "I am going to have you write something for me; remember, now, +how the letters go, first (pointing, as before) a b c, d e f, g h i, +then j k l, m n o, p q r, then s t u v, then w x y z. And don't +forget the dots for the letters in this diagram and this one" +(pointing). At this point, take away the diagrams, give S. pencil and +paper, and tell him to write the words "come quickly." Say nothing +about hurrying. Do not permit S. to reproduce the code and then to +copy the code letters from his reproduction. + +Credit if the words are written within six minutes with not more than +two errors, omission of dot counting as half error. + + +_Alt. 1. Repeating Sentences_ + +Say, "Now, listen. I am going to say something and after I am through +I want you to say it over just as I do. Understand? Listen carefully +and be sure to say exactly what I say." Repeat "Say exactly what I +say" before reading each sentence. Do not re-read any sentence. + +(_a_) Walter likes very much to go on visits to his grandmother, +because she always tells him many funny stories. + +(_b_) Yesterday I saw a pretty little dog in the street. It had curly +brown hair, short legs, and a long tail. + +Credit if one sentence is repeated without a single error. + + +_Alt. 2. Comprehension of Physical Relations_ + +(_a_) Draw a horizontal line 6 or 8 inches long. An inch or two above +it draw a horizontal line about an inch long parallel to the first. +Say, "The long line represents the perfectly level ground of a field, +and the short line represents a cannon. The cannon is pointed +horizontally (on a level) and is fired across this perfectly level +field." After it is clear that these conditions of the problem are +comprehended, add, "Now, suppose that this cannon is fired off and +that the ball comes to the ground at this point here (pointing to the +farther end of the line which represents the field). Take this pencil +and draw a line which will show what path the cannon ball will take +from the time it leaves the mouth of the cannon till it strikes the +ground." + +(_b_) Say, "You know, of course, that water holds up a fish that is +placed in it. Well, here is a problem: Suppose we have a bucket which +is partly full of water. We place the bucket on the scales and find +that with the water in it it weighs exactly 45 pounds. Then we put a +5-pound fish into the bucket of water. Now, what will the whole thing +weigh?" If S. responds correctly, say, "How can this be correct, +since the water itself holds up the fish?" + +(_c_) "You know, do you not, what it means when they say a gun +'carries 100 yards?' It means that the bullet goes 100 yards before +it drops to amount to anything." When this is clear, proceed, "Now, +suppose a man is shooting at a mark about the size of a quart can. +His rifle carries perfectly more than 100 yards. With such a gun is +it any harder to hit the mark at 100 yards than it is at 50 yards?" + +Credit if two of the three problems are satisfactorily solved. + +For (_a_), line must begin almost on a level and drop more rapidly +toward the end. + +For (_b_), S. must adhere positively to right answer. + +For (_c_), S. must know that a small deviation at 50 yards becomes a +larger deviation at 100 yards. + +(See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 333-36 for important +scoring rules.) + + + + +Year XVIII + + +1. _Vocabulary_ + +See last section. + +75 satisfactory definitions if both lists are given; 38 if only one +list is given. + + +2. _Paper-Cutting Test_ + +When this test is given it should precede XIV 2. + +Take a piece of paper about 6 inches square and say, "Watch carefully +what I do. See, I fold the paper this way (folding it once over in +the middle). Then I fold it this way (folding it again in the middle, +but at right angles to the first fold). Now, I will cut out a notch +right here" (indicating). Cut notch, keeping fragments out of view. +Leave folded paper exposed, but pressed flat against table. Then give +S. a pencil and a second sheet of paper like the one already used and +say, "Take this piece of paper and make a drawing to show how the +other sheet of paper would look if it were unfolded. Draw lines to +show the creases in the paper and show what results from the +cutting." Do not permit S. to fold second sheet, and do not say, +"draw the holes." + +Credit if creases are correctly represented, with correct number of +holes correctly located. + + +3. _Repeating Eight Digits_ + +Say, "Now, listen. I am going to say over some numbers and after I am +through, I want you to say them exactly as I do. Listen closely and +get them just right." Give (_a_), and if necessary (_b_) and (_c_). +7, 2, 5, 3, 4, 8, 9, 6; 4, 9, 8, 5, 3, 7, 6, 2; 8, 3, 7, 9, 5, 4, +8, 2. + +Credit if one set is reproduced without error. + + +4. _Repeating Thought of Passage_ + +Say, "I am going to read a little selection of about six or eight +lines. When I am through I will ask you to repeat as much of it as +you can. It doesn't make any difference whether you remember the +exact words or not, but you must listen carefully so that you can +tell me everything it says." Read (_a_), and if necessary (_b_), +recording response verbatim. Urge S. to give thought of selection in +his own words, if he hesitates. + +(_a_) Tests, such as we are now making, are of value both for the +advancement of science and for the information of the person who is +tested. It is important for science to learn how people differ and on +what factors these differences depend. If we can separate the +influence of heredity from the influence of environment, we may be +able to apply our knowledge so as to guide human development. We may +thus in some cases correct defects and develop abilities which we +might otherwise neglect. + +(_b_) Many opinions have been given on the value of life. Some call +it good, others call it bad. It would be nearer correct to say that +it is mediocre; for on the one hand our happiness is never as great +as we should like, and on the other hand our misfortunes are never as +great as our enemies would wish for us. It is this mediocrity of life +which prevents it from being radically unjust. + +Credit if main thoughts of one of the selections are given in +reasonably consecutive order. (See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, +pp. 340-43.) + + +5. _Seven Digits Backwards_ + +Say, "Listen carefully, I am going to read some numbers, and I want +you to say them backwards. For example, if I should say 5--1--4 you +would say 4--1--5. Do you understand?" Then, "Ready now, listen +carefully, and be sure to say the numbers backwards." If S. gives the +digits forwards, repeat instructions. If necessary, give (_b_) and +(_c_), repeating each time: "Ready now, listen carefully, and be sure +to say the numbers backwards." 4, 1, 6, 2, 5, 9, 3; 3, 8, 2, 6, 4, +7, 5; 9, 4, 5, 2, 8, 3, 7. + +Credit if one set is repeated backwards without error. + + +6. _Ingenuity Test_ + +State problem (_a_) orally, repeating it if S. does not respond +promptly. Do not allow S. to use pencil or paper, and ask him to give +his solution orally as he works it out. Record his statement in full. +If S. resorts to some such method as "fill the 3-pint vessel +two-thirds full," or "I would mark the inside of the 5-pint vessel so +as to show where 4 pints come to," etc., inform him that such a +method is not allowable; that this would be guessing, since he could +not be sure when the 3-pint vessel was two-thirds full, or whether he +had marked off his 5-pint vessel accurately. Tell him he must measure +out the water without any guesswork and explain also that it is a +fair problem, not a "catch." Say nothing about pouring from one +vessel to another, but if S. asks whether this is permissible, say +"yes." If S. has not solved (_a_) correctly within five minutes, +explain the solution in full and proceed to (_b_). State (_b_) orally +and allow S. five minutes for its solution. Do not explain in case of +failure. If S. succeeds on either (_a_) or (_b_), but not with both, +give problem (_c_) orally, allowing five minutes for this also. + +(_a_) "A mother sent her boy to the river and told him to bring back +exactly 7 pints of water. She gave him a 3-pint vessel and a 5-pint +vessel. Show me how the boy can measure out exactly 7 pints of water, +using nothing but these two vessels and not guessing at the amount. +You should begin by filling the 5-pint vessel first. Remember, you +have a 3-pint vessel and a 5-pint vessel, and you must bring back +exactly 7 pints." + +Same formula for (_b_) 5 and 7, get 8. Begin with 5; and (_c_) 4 and +9, get 7. Begin with 4. + +Credit if two of the three problems are solved correctly, each within +five minutes. + + + + +_Vocabulary_ + + +"I want to find out how many words you know. Listen; and when I say a +word, you tell me what it means. What is an orange?" etc. If S. can +read, let him see the words on the vocabulary lists. Continue in each +list till 6 or 8 successive words have been missed. If S. thinks +formal definition is required, say: "Just tell me in your own words; +say it any way you please.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/34307.zip b/34307.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4724bd6 --- /dev/null +++ b/34307.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
