| Description | Report titled 'Trial of Some New K-M Group Tests.' (no. 154) by Philip E. Vernon.
The report aims to establish a test capable of measuring ability, in particular non-verbal ability, sufficient enough to replace the two tests currently used. The text begins by outlining the structure of the test trials and the participants, taking note of the ease of using the test as well as ease of scoring. Distributions, reliability and saturation of the target result are presented, including data tables and thorough analyses. The report discusses the differentiation between various groups of men taking the test. The main text is concluded with a summary of the positive and negative aspects of the test. Attached to the document are four test templates, which appear focused on spatial perception and spatial awareness. |
