(H. Sievert)

Resourcefulness (n scale)

You will be offered some tasks, solving which you can check whether you can "overshadow". If you intend to perform some tasks collectively, then you need to appoint a "secretary". Other members of the group will only act as "suppliers of ideas". You can also work on your own. Any idea is acceptable and acceptable. Try to complete tasks as quickly as possible. Use a stopwatch to control.

Exercise. In the left column of the table (on the next page) there are many rulers (blank lines). In each of these lines you must write one word. All words must have the same initial two letters. For example, as is the case for words that begin with "c": fresh, free, holy, pork, etc.

Spelling and word length do not play a big role. You just need to write legibly. Now mark the time. You have one minute to complete each column.

H scale score (resourcefulness)

Count the lines containing the given words. Add up the results of the three tasks. Divide the result by 1.5. The maximum you can get is 60 points.

0-20 points. This task was given to you with great difficulty. Test scores are well below average and on a "real" test that determines your fitness for the job, you would be classified as very weak. You need to practice regularly with other initial letters. 21-40 points. Your results are average. The assessment of the results of the "real" testing will be average. The more points you get, the better your result. With practice, you will undoubtedly achieve better results without effort. You should practice with this test using other initial letters.

41-60 points. Undoubtedly, you understood that in solving this task, in addition to resourcefulness, the speed of writing is important. After all, you can spend no more than two seconds on one word. This is extremely difficult. In addition, when making a note, you must think about other words, that is, practically, think and write in parallel (and not sequentially, as is usually the case).
