A note on a modified Purdue Pegboard

Abstract

A modified Purdue Pegboard was constructed which consisted of 4 rows of 25 holes each. Double the number of pins, washers and collars available for the original board were placed in the 4 cups. 60 seconds of working time were allotted for each of the pin placing tests and 120 seconds were given for the assembly test. 60 industrial education students were given two administrations of the unmodified board and a week later were given two administrations of the modified board. Reliability coefficients on the modified board ranged from .76 to .90; on the unmodified board the range was from .66 to .79. Correlations between scores on the 2 boards ranged from .71 to .81.
