description Language ability is analyzed into about twenty elements, one of these being the ability to organize material into sentences. For this element the author devises a test or measuring scale. It is of the disarranged sentence type. There are two forms of the test, equivalent in difficulty, each form consisting of ten sentences, forming a scale of difficulty from easy to hard. The material has been standardized through tests of 1,634 children in school grades 3 to 8. The statistical procedure in constructing the scales was the same as that used in making the Trabue Completion Test scales. Standards are furnished in the form of normal score per school grade.The author notes the tendency toward the construction of tests for very specialized functions and believes that progress of the greatest value lies along this line. From Psych Bulletin 19:01:00113.
