Description
We are offering an example of a Healy Pictorial Completion Test II that was used for measuring intelligence. It is in very good good condition and retains its original case (11″ x 11″ x 1.5″). The illustrations were done by Marguerite Davis, a well-known children’s book illustrator, who was active in the early decades of the last century. It was copyrighted in 1917 by the Judge Baker Foundation, which is still in operation today. ” The “Judge Baker Foundation” was incorporated in 1917 and the first offices for the Foundation were established on Court Street in Boston. The original focus of Judge Baker was on diagnostic studies and treatment recommendations for “delinquent” boys and girls brought into the Boston Juvenile Court.” Details from an article published by Healy are provided below.
Abstract
Pictorial Completion Test II consists of an illustration to be divided for convenience into two or three parts when mounted. There are eleven pictures 5 x 3 ½ inches each in the series—one merely for demonstration. They represent in sequence situations occurring during a day in the life of a boy. From each picture there is a piece cut out, one inch square. The subject is asked to complete the picture by selecting the right square from 60 square pieces given him. Most of the 60 pieces are inconsistent but some logical in part to the situation; only one is absolutely right. The ten pictures present situations of greatly differing difficulties—most children of eight years get a credit score and even adults of superior achievement have difficulty in getting a perfect score. The time is recorded—20 minutes being the maximum time allowed. The total score on the test is the sum of the values of the pieces as finally placed. Great interest has been shown in the test.
