The number-joining test, originally developed by Tsai in 1939 to predict success of Chinese pilots, was administered to 481 California State College students. Product-moment correlations of B-form with a “motor,” a “perceptual,” and a “coding” test were .33, .47, and .58 respectively, indicating that the test involves more central than peripheral functions. Test reliability is evidenced by r of .71 between alternate forms, of .93 between 4- and 6-min. segments and practically identical mean scores for alternate forms. Group testing is just as reliable as individual testing; however, male Ss perform significantly better in a group than when tested individually.

The reliability of selecting the colors used in the Luscher Color Test over a 45-day period is reported. First and last colors selected were most reliable. All other selections were lower but significantly correlated except the third and fourth selections which were not significant. Significant differences in percentage of color preferences for the first and seventh selections were found between those reported by Luscher for a large European sample of male college students and the present sample of 98 college students. Colors differing for samples were red, green, yellow and grey. Reliability, although somewhat low, appears comparable to that reported for other projective techniques. Interpretations based upon the descriptions by Luscher should, however, be carefully weighed considering the differences found for color preferences between the European and the present U.S. samples.

The 20 alternate forms of five psychometric measures (Number Facility, Visualization, Speed of Perception, Speed of Closure, and Flexibility of Closure) were administered to two samples of 544 and 508 college students. All alternate forms but that for Number Facility were found to be reliably different in difficulty level. Statistical weights derived from either sample were found to decrease variability of alternate form means in the other sample. Correction factors were provided for the 20 alternate forms of all but the Number Facility measure.

This research is aimed; (a) to give a description about Arabic final semester test questions arrangements procedure at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training in UIN Imam Bonjol Padang. (b) to give a description about the quality of the test as seen from its validity, reliability, difficulty, and differentiation capacity. (c) to give a description that the lecturers never did an exam questions analysis of Arabic exam subject at Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training in UIN Imam Bonjol Padang. This research uses the descriptive method with quantitative and qualitative data. The population within this research is the college students of Tadris major in faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training who follows the final semester exam of 2017-2018 tenet years, especially in Arabic test subject. The sample taken during this research is the college students from the Tadris major, who followed the final semester exam on Arabic subject, by using the purpose sampling technique. The data collecting technique used was documentation, interview, and questionnaires. The results of this research are (1) the types of this tests are achievement test from the teaching objectives aspect, teacher-made test from the arrangement aspect, summative test from the time of implementation aspect, written test from the method of performing aspects, and subjective test from the answer scoring aspect, (2) the quality of Arabic test year 2017/2018: (a) validity sufficient, (b) test reliability is high which is 0,74, (c) the difficulty is easy earning it a ‘bad’ category, which is 45 numbers of questions or 11,11%, (d) the differentiation capacity is bad, which is 45 numbers of questions, or 22,22%, (3) the reason why the lecturers and question maker team did not held a question analysis are as follows: (a) some of the Arabic lecturers in faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training in UIN Imam Bonjol Padang are not scholars of Arabic education major or not lenient with S-1 and S-2 academic degree, (b) they have zero experience in doing test analysis, (c) there is no order from the authorities which motivates the lecturers in doing test analysis, (d) the lack of understanding about analysis, and (e) there are lecturers who have never received training or seminar about evaluation and analysis.

Relationship Of

11 male and 11 female college students at California State College, Los Angeles were tested for brightness constancy perception while experiencing induced muscular tension (IMT). One-half S's maximum grip on a standard hand dynomometer was used for induced muscular tension. IMT was expected to increase activation and attention, and facilitate veridicality of perception in the brightness constancy situation. A repeated measures design was used; each S ran through the constancy test twice, once with IMT, once without. A difference score was calculated for each S by substracting the scores obtained with IMT from those obtained without. The t test ( p < .05; t = 2.23) was in the opposite direction from the predicted. IMT heightened activation, but the outcome was facilitation of brightness constancy, not veridicality.

Pearson Correlations

57 college students took all 6 individual and 3 group forms of the Quick Test. High significant Pearson correlations among raw scores and IQs suggest that these alternate forms are measuring similarly.
