INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION

OF BHATIA'S BATTERY OF PERFORMANCE
TESTS OF INTELLIGENCE
IN
KOHS BLOCK DESIGN t PASSALONG TESTS (Tests No. 1& 2)
1. Note the particulars of the subject as required in the
scoring sheet. Note also whether the subject is literate or
illiterate. Illiterate is one who has not been to a school or
has not stayed there long enough to acquire ordinary reading
and writing.
2. Note the observations very carefully and faithfully.
Record the times as carefully as you can, with the help of a
stop-watch as far as possible. A friend may help you in
recording time.
3. Give the tests in a natural manner. Obtain the conf
dence of the subject. Talk in the subject's own dialet if
possible. But stick to the procedure of the Tests rigidly. G
only as much aid or hint to the subject as is permissible.
When the subject fails, do not put on a very serious look. Keep
a cheerful businesslike attitude throughout.
4. Start testing with Kohs' Block Design Test
(1) Place four cubes before the subject. Explain how
they are all alike and coloured in a particular way.
Let him handle and examine the cubes at leisure
and confidently, and let hËm feel at home.
(2) Show him card No. 1. Tell him that a design likc
this has to be prepared with the cubes. Even if he
attempts to prepare the design bimself, you should
demonstrate this design to every subject.
(3) Mix up the blocks. Now ask him to prepare
Design No. 1 as you have already shown him.
Note the time.
(4) If the subject succeeds in the above within the
time limit, namely 2 minutes, proceed to Design
No. 2 and ask him to construct it without any
demonstration or help from your side.
(5) Proceed in this manner with successive designs.
(6)When the subject fails in a particular design with
in the time limit, demonstrate the design after he
 2

has failed. Do not discuss. Do not let him

again
try this design. Pass on to the next which, of
Course, he must again try independently.
(7) When the subject comes to Design No 6, give
him fue more blocks making the total nine; when
he comes to design No. &, give him the remaining
seven, making the total sizteen.
(8) Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice
in succession.
(9) The time limit for Designs Nos. 1-5 is 2 minutes
each and for Designs Nos. 6--10 is 3minutes each.
(10) In the Remarks column you may note anything
particular or peculiar youind about the subject in
making the designs.
5. In giving the Passalong Test :
(1) Take the first and the smallest box, and the card
No. 1. Point out to the subject that the red block
has been placed near the blue end and the blue
blocks near the red end. Explain that the red
block must come to the red side and the blue
blocks to the blue side as in the card. Emphasize
that blocks have not to be lifted, but may only
be moved.
Demonstrate the solution of the first box to every subject.
(2) Again plece the card No. 1 and the box and ask
the subject to doas you have already just demon
strated. Record success or failure within the time
limit.
(3) Proceed to Designs Nos. 2, 3, etc. with the appro
priare boxes, and after having placed the blocks
properly in the initial position as required in the
test. Theinitial position is obtained by simply
reversing the coloured ends of the b0x. The
coloured ends of the box must however be finally
placed before the subject as in the Design Card,
which must be presented to the subject with the
Lumber of the card up.
 (4) When the subject fails in a particular design with
in the time limit, demonstrate the design after he
has failed., Do n0t discuss. Do not lethim again
try this design. Pass on to the next which, of
course, he must again try independently.
(5) Stop thetest when failure has been recorded twice
in succession.
(6) The time limit for Designs 1 to 4 is 2 miFutes
each and for Designs 5 to 8 is 3 minutes each.
(7) In the remarks column you may note anything
particular or peculiar you find about the subject
in solving the designs.
PATTERN-DRAWIN GTEST (Test No. 3 )
1. There are eight patterns of increasing difficulty from
the 1st to 8th.
2. Give the following instructions to the subject :
Here is paper and a pencil. I shall show a figure to
you ( g# 14O J4Aì faataT).' Place a card be
fure the subject. Let the card be so displayed that the
number of the card appears at the top before the
subject. Now make figure likethis without repe at
ing your lines and without lifting your pencil when
once you have started drawing ( Ttt t |a

Ig yHS GE A¥I ). The card should remain in

full yiew of the subject throughout.
3. Let the subject try successive patterns. Stop when
failure is recorded twice in succession.
4. Provide a plain white sheet of paper to the subject on
which to draw the patterns. Succe ssive patterns may be drawn
on the same sheet as long as there is room. Put the name of
the subject at the top corner.
5. Allow a maximum of 2 minutes for each of the first
four patterns. Alloa maximum of 3 minutes for patterns
Nos. 5 to 8. The subject may make as many attempts on the
paper as he likes within the time limit.
 4

6. Denmonstrate the first pattern, if necessary. It is only

meant to give the subject confidence and facility in drawing.
7. When afailure occurs in one of the patterns, demon
strate this, but do not let the subject try this pattern again.
Pass on the next. Stop when failure is recorded in two
successive designs.
8. Watch the subject while he is drawing. If he repeats
a line or lifts his pencil, remind him of the conditions. Ask
him to commence after proper thought. If he makes a drawing
Wrong, cross it out and ask him to start afresh. Encourage him
to try as many tÉmes as he likes within the time limit before
you record a failure in a particular pattern.
9. The solutions are givyen at the back of the cards. Try
out the patterns yourself first. You will be able to see the
device. Solutions other than those given are alsopossible and
should be familiar to you.

IMMEDIATE MEMORY FOR SOUNDS (a) DIRECT (Test No. 4 )

1, Immediate memory too has a close relation with mental

development or general intelligence.
2. Hindi consonants have been taken as the units of
sounds, because they put the literate and the illiterate at par.

8. If the subject /s able to pass the first three sub-tests

then in the fourth and fifth sub-tests, in case of failure, record
not only failure but the number of pieces the subject was able
to fit in correctly within the time limit, i. e., for example 6
out of 8 or 7 out of 8 in the case of the fourth sub-test and 6
out of 12, or 9 out of 12 etc. in the case of the fifth sub-test.
9. The time limit is 2 minutes each for sub-tests 1 to 3 and
3 minutes each for subr-tests Nos. 4 and5. Record both the
time taken by the subject and failure or success.
10. The pieces of a sub-test must be presented before the
child in a pile in the serial order that has been marked at the
back of the pieces. Of course the picture sides of the pieces
willbe exposed to the child, The numbers at the back are
only to guide the examiner in placing the pieces in the desired
standard order initially before the child.
The above has two exceptions. In the sub-test No. 1, put
the two pieces side by side. In sub-test 5 put the pieces in two
