A point scale of performance tests: Clinical manual.: The scale: Abridgments of Form I. This chapter describes abridgments of Form I of the Point Scale of Performance Tests. It is noted that early in the history of the Point Scale of Performance Tests, a number of psychologists suggested that the scale seemed to be somewhat overweighted with form-board material. The Casuist Form Board, the Manikin-Feature-Profile Test and the Mare and Foal Test showed poor discriminative value as compared with other tests of the scale, the Manikin-Feature-Profile, perhaps, being the least useful. As time went on, erratic ratings were often found to result from exceptional scores, either high or low, on the Casuist Form Board, or even more often, on the Manikin-Feature-Profile Test. This chapter reviews results from when the Casuist Form Board and the Manikin-Feature-Profile Test are omitted from the total score. It also describes results of Porteus Maze Test omissions.

Abstract

This chapter describes abridgments of Form I of the Point Scale of Performance Tests. It is noted that early in the history of the Point Scale of Performance Tests, a number of psychologists suggested that the scale seemed to be somewhat overweighted with form-board material. The Casuist Form Board, the Manikin-Feature-Profile Test and the Mare and Foal Test showed poor discriminative value as compared with other tests of the scale, the Manikin-Feature-Profile, perhaps, being the least useful. As time went on, erratic ratings were often found to result from exceptional scores, either high or low, on the Casuist Form Board, or even more often, on the Manikin-Feature-Profile Test. This chapter reviews results from when the Casuist Form Board and the Manikin-Feature-Profile Test are omitted from the total score. It also describes results of Porteus Maze Test omissions.
