Abstract:
The multiple-choice performance maze, the electromaze, is an application of switching circuits and requires no overt verbal, mathematical, or figure symbols characteristic of paper-and-pencil mental tests. The apparatus was used as a reasoning test for the comparison of graduate students in physics and journalism. On the basis of the statistical analysis, it was concluded that there were no significant differences in the abilities of both types of graduate students as revealed by their respective trial and time scores. The low correlations between the electromaze and the Miller verbal analysis scores were taken as a strong indication that the electromaze performance depends little on the type of verbal skills and abilities measured by the Miller test.
