By the Associated Press. SYRACUSE, N. Y., October 14.—The old intelligence tests the boys took in the Army during the World War were dreems compared to that devised by Prof. Robert Paris Carroll of Teachers' Collegs, Syracuse University, built around the idea that spezd in answering questions has nothing to do with intelligence. No one who has taken this t<st has completed it; but that's part of Prof. Carroll's design. I Here are some of the m°ntal twisters: “What do_the following disarranged sentences tell you to do: “Here a and circle make square. (Unscrambled: Make a circle and square here). But eventually the one being examined comes to this one: “Of antecedent this is s2e possssive pronoun verb pronoun the relative a underscore that you the a personal case of the pronoun and personal sentence relative write a pronoun the.” Then there are others, starting off simply enough, like “mu’tiply 5 by 6,” or “multiply 4 by 6 and add 5 to the product.” leading to this one: “To the product of 3 of 64 and the | quotient obtained by dividing Y4 of the difference between 5-16 of 96 and % of 8 by 1-7 of % of the sum of 7 of 56 and 1-16 of 112, add 9-10 of i of the product of 42 and % of the differ- ence between 6-7 and 7-10 of 40." That's ons nobody has answered yet. No_computation to be done on paper. Then there are words to be unscram- bled: “Adl dlad), ria (air), obok (book), which those being tested find simple enough, but when they try “pernershe- tioiat” and idnaotemnromec” it's a dif- ferent story.
