Abstract
An estimate of the mental level of respondents is frequently desirable in public opinion surveys. The question series on which such an estimate can be based must be short, diagnostic, easily administered, and phrased to avoid the respondent's suspicion. The five-question test described in this article correlated .76 with the Pressey Senior Classification Test scores of the sample studied and yielded a Hoyt reliability of .63. A multiple correlation of the Pressey Test with the five-item test and highest grade reached in school produced a multiple R of 88. The author is Associate Professor of Education at the University of Minnesota.
