The inside of the frame should be 3 X 4 inches,and the dimensions of the blocks should be as follows:l3/i6 X 3; 1 X 1^; 1 X 2^; 1 X V/2\ 1M X 2. Procedure. Place the frame on the table before the sub-ject, the short side nearest him. The blocks are placed inan irregular position on the side of the frame away fromthe subject. Take care that the board with the blocks inplace is not exposed to view in advance of the experiment. Say: / want you to put these blocks in this frame sothat all the space mill be filled up. If you do it rightly theywill all fit in and there will be no space left over. Go ahead. Do not tell the subject to see how quickly he can do nothing that would even suggest hurrying, for this TEST NO. X, ALTERNTIVE 3 279 tends to call forth the trial-and-error procedure even withintelligent Scoring. The test is passed if the child succeeds in fit-ting the blocks into place three times in a total time offive minutes for the three trials. 280 THE MEASUREMENT OF INTELLIGENCE The method of procedure is fully as important as thetime, but is not so easily scored in quantitative , the examiner should always take observa-tions on the method employed, noting especially any ten-dency to make and to repeat moves which lead to obviousimpossibilities; , moves which leave a space obviouslyunfitted to any of the remaining pieces. Some subjects re-peat an absurd move many times over; others make anabsurd move, but promptly correct it; others, and theseare usually the bright ones, look far enough ahead to avoiderror altogether. Remarks. This test was devised by Professor Freeman,was adapted slightly by Healy
