Summary
Using a method of statistical research enabling one to compute correlations with “present condition”, several simple formulae have been devised for scoring “present condition.” Tested on a small group of thirty-nine individuals, these formulae are from three and one-half to four and six-tenths times as valid as the score obtained from theSchneider test.
The formulae given in this study cannot be considered as being reliable for ordinary use because of the small number of cases from which they were derived. However, the method presented is, we believe, a reliable one.
