q2 · i? · associational · r1
Ranking study of 100 students tested with twelve originality tests; final group rank was the median of each student's twelve ranks. The comment section reports that "Analogues ranks first among the tests," while noting the sixth analogue was the most difficult item.
"Analogues ranks first among the tests. It might have been even more valuable, however, if the "picture writing" analogue (No. 6), which was by far the most difficult, had been replaced by one more nearly like the others,"
