  • The Block-Design Tests * by S
    THE BLOCK-DESIGN TESTS * BY S. C. KOHS1 Portland, Oregon A brief presentation of the Block-design Tests will be attempted in this article. These tests fall in the category of 'performance tests' and have been standardized to measure intelligence. They have been purposely devised to eliminate the factor of language. In this attempt the writer believes he has been especially successful since the instructions them- selves may be given entirely through pantomime and imitation. There has indeed been, and there still is, a great need for tests such as are here presented. In the longer monograph which the writer is preparing for publication, there will be more detailed treatment of many topics, such as the definition of intelligence; an analytic criticism of current methods of standardization; suggested newer statistical procedure; the relation between language ability, performance and intelli- gence; and other pertinent material. The content of the present article has been divided into six sections: {A) The Test Material: 1. The Blocks. 2. The Designs. (2?) The Directions for Applying the Tests: 1. For Subjects Who Can Understand Spoken Lan- guage. 2. For Subjects Who Do Not Know the Names of the Colors. 3. For Subjects Who Cannot Understand Spoken Language. (C) The Score Card and Methods of Scoring. (D) The Norms. 1 Psychologist to the Court of Domestic Relations. 357 358 S. C. KOIIK (E) The Reliability of the Tests. (F) Serviceability.

Australia is now the envy of the world for its climate and variety of produce, and is a food-lover's destination, spurred on by generations of keen home cooks. The recipes in this book span the country food traditions of regional Australia and the amazing fresh seafood of its rugged coastline. From the best slow-roasted lamb shoulder to an iconic passionfruit cheesecake, anyone who has spent time in Australia will find something in this collection which will make them nod their head and smile. 'This is the Australian food I love,’ says Matt, ‘and I hope you find lots to love here too.' Matt Moran is an Australian food icon. He is the tour de force behind some of Australia's most celebrated dining establishments (Aria, Chiswick and North Bondi Fish, to name just a few) with a plethora of awards to his name. Matt is a frequent contributor to food publications globally and has appeared on numerous Australian and international TV shows. This summer he’ll be on Lifestyle’s Great Australian Bake-off and Channel 9’s Family Food Fight. This is his fifth cookbook.
