The Personal Equation in Motor Ability

Abstract

In order to try out experimentally the common notion, that an individual will show a constant behaviour as to speed and accuracy in all kinds of motor performance - within his group - a series of reaction and motor tests were given to sophomores. The tests were: (1) Tapping in group (with pencil). (2) Individual tapping (on telegraph key). (3) Counting numbers orally. (4) Writing numbers. (5) Counting and writing as one combined activity. Simple bodily reactions of (6) the lips, (7) the jaws, (8) the index finger, (9) the head, (10) the elbow, (11) the thumb, (12) the foot. (13) Ergograph test
