Superior Adult 2: Binet's Paper-cutting TestPROCEDURE. Take a piece of paper about six inches square and say: "_Watch carefully what I do. See, I fold the paper this way_ (folding it once over in the middle), _then I fold it this way_ (folding it again in the middle, but at right angles to the first fold). _Now, I will cut out a notch right here_" (indicating). At this point take scissors and cut out a small notch from the middle of the side which presents but one edge. Throw the fragment which has been cut out into the waste-basket or under the table. Leave the folded paper exposed to view, but pressed flat against the table. Then give the subject a pencil and a second sheet of paper like the one already used and say: "_Take this piece of paper and make a drawing to show how the other sheet of paper would look if it were unfolded. Draw lines to show the creases in the paper and show what results from the cutting._" The subject is not permitted to fold the second sheet, but must solve the problem by the imagination unaided. Note that we do not say, "_Draw the holes_," as this would inform the subject that more than one hole is expected. SCORING. The test is passed _if the creases in the paper are properly represented, if the holes are drawn in the correct number, and if they are located correctly_, that is, both on the same crease and each about halfway between the center of the paper and the side. The shape of the holes is disregarded. Failure may be due to error as regards the creases or the number and location of the holes, or it may involve any combination of the above errors. REMARKS. Success seems to depend upon constructive visual imagination. The subject must first be able to construct in imagination the creases which result from the folding, and secondly, to picture the effects of the cutting as regards number of holes and their location. It appears that a solution is seldom arrived at, even in the case of college students, by logical mathematical thinking. Our unschooled subjects even succeeded somewhat better than high-school and college students of the same mental level. Binet placed this test in year XIII of the 1908 scale, but shifted it to the adult group in the 1911 revision. Goddard retains it in the adult group, while Kuhlmann places it in year XV. There have also been certain variations in the procedure employed. As given in the Stanford revision the test is passed by hardly any subjects below the 14-year level, but by about one third of "average adults" and by the large majority of "superior adults."
