Pictorial Completion Test II

Abstract

Pictorial Completion Test II consists of an illustration to be divided for convenience into two or three parts when mounted. There are eleven pictures 5 x 3 ½ inches each in the series—one merely for demonstration. They represent in sequence situations occurring during a day in the life of a boy. From each picture there is a piece cut out, one inch square. The subject is asked to complete the picture by selecting the right square from 60 square pieces given him. Most of the 60 pieces are inconsistent but some logical in part to the situation; only one is absolutely right. The ten pictures present situations of greatly differing difficulties—most children of eight years get a credit score and even adults of superior achievement have difficulty in getting a perfect score. The time is recorded—20 minutes being the maximum time allowed. The total score on the test is the sum of the values of the pieces as finally placed. Great interest has been shown in the test.
