Two types of tests are available for studying personality. These are the paper-pencil tests and the projective tests. Projective techniques which reveal the subject's personality through his treatment of the test material are generally more valid and more revealing than the paper-pencil tests which require the underlining of words or the answering of "Yes" or "No" to a list of questions. This i...

Introduction: Diagnosis of orbital foreign body (FB) penetration is usually obvious when part of the FB is still attached at the entry wound (1). However, the depth and course of the FB in this case was not visible.   Case Report: A 5-year old female presented with a pencil penetrating the left orbit. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed that the pencil penetrated the left orbit (extraseptal)...

OBJECTIVE This study compared the relationship between computer experience and performance on computerized cognitive tests and a traditional paper-and-pencil cognitive test in a sample of older adults (N = 634). METHOD Participants completed computer experience and computer attitudes questionnaires, three computerized cognitive tests (Useful Field of View (UFOV) Test, Road Sign Test, and Stro...

This study will attempt to provide an explanation for the disparity that exists between the literature that purports no difference between individuals’ performance when taking paper-and-pencil versus computer-based tests, with the literature that purports that high levels of computer anxiety will influence computer-based performance. The question is asked, how can the findings that show high le...

With regards to grading problems, traditional Online Tests do not provide fill-in-the-blank items. In lieu of this, this research hopes to demonstrate that if properly designed, an Online Test could achieve the same test effectiveness as manual paper-and-pencil tests. An Online Test system was built to provide both traditional and intelligent Online Test scoring mechanisms. In this research, 12...

The pseudospectral method is a highly accurate numerical scheme suitable for turbulence simulations. We have developed an open-source code, \textsc{\textsf{Calliope}}, which adopts the P3DFFT library \citep{Pekurovsky2012} to perform fast Fourier transform with two-dimensional (pencil) decomposition of grids. \textsc{\textsf{Calliope}} can solve incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), isothe...

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit einer Diskussion von Mode und Nachhaltigkeit in der Informationsund Kommunikationstechnik (IKT) am Beispiel des Eingabestifts (englisch Stylus oder Touch Pen). Die wechselhafte Entwicklungsgeschichte des Eingabestifts wirft die Frage auf, ob es sich beim Eingabestift um ein nachhaltiges Bedienkonzept der IKT handelt oder ggf. nur um eine (wiederkehrende) Modeerschei...

tistical evaluation of the items in the Stanford Binet and, incidentally, of certain performance tests that might indicate the presence of mechanical ability. The theory that general intelligence and mechanical ability are distinct traits is consistently confirmed by the low correlations found between tests of intelligence and mechanical ability. Almost all of these studies are based on the tot...
